OUR HISTORY
Our Kaleidoscope Community originated as a program called “Kaleidoscope Indy” in November of 2021. The focus was on providing meaningful and fun opportunities for the LGBTQIA+ community to gather together on a weekly basis. Our Kaleidoscope Community, Inc was approved as a corporation by the state of Indiana in July 2023 and as a 501(c)3 organization in October 2023.
The need for unconditional love and support in the LGBTQIA+ community is evidenced in the statistics regarding suicide and self-harm in addition to the alarming number of LGBTQIA+ people who are addicts or in recovery. Kaleidoscope Indy began has a mostly social ministry for the queer community, but soon discovered the need was much deeper.
As Kaleidoscope Indy grew, so did the number of people in recovery. Seeing another need in the community, Kaleidoscope began hosting and promoting “Zero Proof” (alcohol-free) gatherings for the LGBTQIA+ community which will continue to be a priority.
Created by and for the LGBTQIA+ community, Our Kaleidoscope Community is committed to prioritizing and elevating queer voices, expressions and experiences in the community.
We really love our family.
