About Fairbanks Queer Collective

The Fairbanks Queer Collective (FQC) is a grassroots, QTBIPOC-led organization dedicated to creating safer, more inclusive spaces for LGBTQ2S+ individuals, their families, and allies in Interior Alaska. We focus on queer joy, mutual aid, community education, youth mentorship, and advocacy to build a community where everyone can thrive.

At FQC, we believe in breaking down barriers, fostering connection, and redistributing resources to ensure queer and trans people have access to the support they need. Our year-round programming, free resources, and advocacy work make a tangible impact in the lives of LGBTQ2S+ people in Fairbanks and beyond.

At the heart of our work is The Lavender Lounge, a welcoming, community-driven space designed for gathering, learning, and support.

FBX Queer Youth Collective

A hub for queer youth leadership, education, and empowerment. Through mentorship, workshops, and youth-led initiatives, the Fairbanks Queer Youth Collective (FQYC) fosters leadership development and provides a space for young people to organize, share experiences, and make an impact in their community. The group also helps plan key events like HallowQueer, Queer Youth Empowerment Lock-Ins, and Pride programming tailored for young people.

Our work is guided by the values of Inclusion, Accessibility, Self-Determination, Intersectionality, Community, Wellness, Joy, Justice, Decolonization, and Collective Liberation—ensuring a future shaped by and for the community.
