UCLA Queer Alliance

UCLA Queer Alliance is a comprehensive student organization serving the Los Angeles, CA community through progressive LGBTQ advocacy and support programming. Operating at the University of California - Los Angeles, the organization provides essential access and retention programs designed to support queer and transgender undergraduate students throughout their academic journey. The alliance facilitates critical engagement opportunities through regular meetings, community programming, and structured dialogue addressing topics central to queer and trans experiences.

The organization operates multiple specialized initiatives tailored to serve diverse student populations. These include QTPOC (Queer and Trans People of Color) programming focused on intersectional community building, the CUSP Lounge providing dedicated safe space, and Queer Peers mentorship opportunities. Additional offerings include the PAW and TPAW projects, QA Internship opportunities, and creative recurring programs such as Q'ed Up art initiatives and Queer Cooks culinary gatherings.

Beyond individual support services, UCLA Queer Alliance actively engages in advocacy work with university administrators while facilitating dialogue around critical issues affecting LGBTQ students. The organization coordinates major community events including National Coming Out Week programming and maintains robust online engagement to ensure accessibility for all participants. Their commitment extends to creating sustainable, self-sustaining community infrastructure that prioritizes respect, understanding, equity, and equality while working toward the eradication of heteronormativity, queerphobia, and cisheterosexism within the UCLA campus and broader community.
