MISSION
The COLOURS Organization’s mission is to impact, improve, and empower the lives of communities of color, especially those of the African Diaspora, within the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area across all genders and sexualities. With an intentional focus on LGBTQ+ communities, through holistic wellness & safety, intersectionality, and community mobilization, we strive to support and uplift the experiences of those too often left in the margins.
WHAT WE DO
The COLOURS Organization was established in 1991 to respond to the lack of positive and progressive educational advocacy for LGBTQ people of color. Our purpose is to serve and educate people of color who are historically disproportionately impacted by HIV/STI and the underlying structural and socioeconomic disparities that are at the center of our work. COLOURS is dedication to preventing new HIV/STI infections and reducing gaps in access to HIV prevention and care services, while improving the health of PLWH (People Living With HIV) and other disenfranchised people of color. “We are here for you”
