LGBTQ+Friends Club mission: It is our mission to bring together and recognize lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, questioning and straight COCC students in a positive and non-judgmental environment where everyone can fully express their individuality and share experiences. In addition, it is also our intent to support events that increase awareness, decrease prejudices and contribute to creating a safe school atmosphere for all.

Club activities include: weekly meetings, parties, films, candidates' forums, workshops and talks.
