Our Community Center
1000 Apollo Way STE 110 Santa Rosa, CA 95407
Our LGBTQIA2S+ Community Center has moved!
We’re thrilled to announce that Positive Images is now in a brand-new, expanded space in Santa Rosa! This exciting new chapter allows us to double the size of our community room, create a dedicated staff lounge and kitchen that we share with our friends at Latino Service Providers, and give beloved programs like the Transformation Station and Queer Library the space they truly deserve.
Our new center remains a vibrant hub of support and resources, offering everything our community has come to count on: a well-stocked community pantry, gender-affirming clothing and supplies, access to computers and Wi‑Fi, and one-on-one support from our compassionate team. We continue to host weekly peer-run mental health support groups, culturally and linguistically responsive therapy, social activities, and QTBIPOC-centered programs—all in a welcoming, substance-free, and stigma-free environment.
Are You New? Let’s Get to Know Each Other!
While not required, prospective members who would like a personal introduction and orientation may simply contact us at info@posimages.org or call 707-568-5830. The orientation typically takes 20 minutes and includes a tour of the building.

Positive Images Gender-Affirming
Care Program
Positive Images' gender-affirming care program is intended to help trans, nonbinary, gender nonconforming, and questioning people find gender euphoria with the help of gender-affirming aids like tucking underwear, chest binders, and even TransTape! Sign up using the form below to set up a consultation with one of our trained staff.

Harm Reduction Station
PI’s harm reduction station is a great place to access harm reduction supplies such as masks and covid tests, prophylactic and safe-sex products, menstruation products, and Naloxone and Fentanyl testing strips. All of our products are kept easily accessible so there’s no barrier like judgment in between our community members and these vital supplies. Our station is supplied by Face to Face, and contains information on more harm reduction resources that they provide.
Queer Library
PI’s Queer Library is a welcoming space where community members can explore books and zines that reflect LGBTQIA2S+ experiences and identities. Our collection includes fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, YA, memoirs, queer history, children’s books, self-help, and more! Whether you’re looking for a book that reflects your own experience, hoping to learn more about queer and trans identities, or searching for resources to support a friend or family member, our library is here for you. Check out our online catalog if you’re looking for a specific title, or drop by the center to borrow or browse.
Transformation Station
PI’s Transformation Station is a free closet that allows our community members to explore their style and presentation in a safe place. Our closet is stocked by donations and offers clothing and accessories, as well as toiletries. All clothing is organized by size and type of garment rather than gender, and we encourage folks in our center to try on clothes if they wish to be able to explore their gender expression. We have a separate section for professional clothing, which you can request to see at any time. All clothing is accepted provided that it is clean and undamaged, except for underwear which we request to be new and in its original packaging. For specific questions about what is able to be donated to our closet, please email nico@posimages.org
Food Pantry
PI’s food pantry provides free, accessible food to community members because we believe everyone deserves access to nourishing food. Our pantry is a welcoming, judgment-free resource where community members can access food without stigma. We periodically receive fresh produce through Farm to Pantry, and we always have snacks and hearty soups available to enjoy. Give us a call or stop by the center to find out what’s currently available.
Art Supplies
Come get creative with us! Our center has a variety of art supplies - including markers, pastels, paint, drawing materials, and more - for our community members to use and enjoy. Art can be a great way to express yourself, relax, or have fun. Join us for Chaotic Crafting every Thursday or monthly art nights, where community members can create, experiment, and connect. No artistic experience is needed - just bring your imagination.
Games
Positive Images offers a variety of puzzles, board games, and Wii games for community members to enjoy while hanging out at the center. From classic board games and relaxing puzzles to queer favorites like Gayopoly, there’s something for everyone. Our Fun Games Fridays are a chance to gather, play, and connect with others in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Whether you’re joining us for a Fun Games Friday, a game night, or if you just want to challenge a friend to a quick round, come in and play!
Ancestor's Altar (Ofrenda)
Our ancestor’s altar, or ofrenda, is a space for remembrance, love, and honoring. It celebrates the lives and legacies of queer and trans icons, community members, activists, artists, and others we have lost over the years. The ofrenda invites us to remember those who helped pave the way for queer liberation and celebrate the joy and resilience they brought to our communities. It is a living reminder that our history is rooted in the people who came before us, and that their stories remain an important part of our community today.

Our Community Aspirations
We work hard to provide a space for everyone to be authentically themselves. We aspire to be a space that works for everyone. To guide us toward that aspiration, we hold the following community agreements:
Keep It Here.
The nature of our program's services are confidential. Who we see and what we share must remain confidential for the safety and privacy of the members.
Embrace All Bodies.
This is a body-positive, fat-positive, food-positive, sex-positive space.
Language Matters.
Mutual respect. For everyone, including yourself. Be mindful of self-deprecating language and demeaning others–even when joking.
Anchored in Goodwill.
This is a supportive space. Come with positive intent and assume it in others. When appropriate, practice calling folks in instead of calling folks out. Approach conversations with curiosity and ask clarifying questions rather than making assumptions of meaning or intent. Listen for understanding.
Respect Boundaries
Be aware of personal space, consent, and comfort level of others.
Speak with Empathy.
Assume we’re in the room – if you’re going to talk about a lived experience or identity, assume you’re talking to a room where someone has had that experience or holds that identity.
Commitment to Anti-Racism.
We don’t tolerate racial or ethnic prejudice whatsoever; we actively challenge racism, prejudice, and forms of discrimination, including implicit bias and microaggressions.
Embrace Diverse Abilities.
We want this to be a space where self care is both encouraged and prioritized. Not all ability needs are apparent; please respect that people will set their own boundaries, respect them as they are set.
Be Present.
Please come to PI not under the influence of substances that will disconnect you from others.
Fostering Friendships.
Let’s make this a welcoming space that’s easy to be new in.
Promote Support.
We want this to be a space where it is safe and encouraged to ask for help when you need it.
