Founded in 1995 on Chicago's South Side, Affinity Community Services is a Black, queer-founded and led organization dedicated to social justice in Black LGBTQ+ communities. For 30 years, we have centered Black queer women through community-building, advocacy, intergenerational programming and services, peer education, and healing justice.
We aim to co-create spaces with community members and partners where all the intersections of LGBTQ+ identities are fully embraced.
Affinity 30 for 30 Challenge
In celebration of our 30th anniversary last year, we launched the Affinity 30 for 30 Challenge. This initiative invited community members, supporters, and friends to share their first or fondest Affinity moments and their wishes for our future! Here are some that were shared.
“Affinity makes the world safer for me and people like me. I know that I can bring my whole self, and feel my whole self reflected back. It’s home.”

Former Affinity Board President
