Our Mission

The GLO Center

The GLO Center is a nonprofit that serves the LGBTQIA+ community in the Ozarks through support, resources, education, and advocacy, to create a more inclusive and welcoming community where all can thrive.

Find Your People

Community looks different for everyone, and that’s why GLO offers a wide range of social and support groups for all ages, identities, and life stages. From Rainbow Families for kids 11 and under, to GLO 50plus, to identity-specific groups like our Aromantic and Asexual community, there’s space here to connect, grow, and feel understood.
