Nwa Equality

Northwest Arkansas Equality provides programming, education, and advocacy to serve, connect, and empower the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) community. We address barriers to healthcare, social support, and representation by offering free and confidential HIV/STI testing, peer-led support groups, and affirming resource navigation. Our cultural, social, and educational programs foster a sense of belonging, reduce isolation, and celebrate the diversity of LGBTQ lives across generations. As one of Arkansas' leading LGBTQ advocacy organizations, we advance equality through civic engagement, public education, and community-led initiatives that amplify the voices of LGBTQ individuals in policy and culture. Each year, our work impacts more than people and helps build a vibrant, inclusive, and equitable community for LGBTQ Arkansans.
