QRC  - Queer Resource Center at Butte College

Providing a safe, inclusive environment for LGBTQIA2S+ students

Founded in 2018 by student Skylar Darrow, the mission of the QRC is to provide a safe, inclusive environment for LGBTQIA2S+ students. The space allows students to meet others in the community and gain support while at Butte College. Stop by!  In the swing space portables by ARTS -  SSG 101, main campus.
