About Us


The River Valley Equality Center, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has been the River Valley's voice for LGBT equality since 2012. During RVEC's existence, we've grown from a handful of people meeting in a living room to a full-fledged organization providing support groups, community events, education, and more. With your help, we hope to continue our growth and the work we're doing.

Mission Statement


The River Valley Equality Center is a community organization committed to non-violent advocacy for the rights of all humans, with an emphasis on the lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender communities and other minority sexualities. RVEC is using a combination of visible action, education, and social support to change misinformed hatred and prejudice to acceptance and goodwill.
