RAINBOW SENIORS ROC

Rainbow Seniors ROC is an advocacy, service and social activity group for greater Rochester area LGBTQ+ seniors (50+)... Embracing diversity, equity and inclusion, we act as a voice for LGBTQ+ seniors (50+) in the greater Rochester area. Although a new organization, as of 2020, our roots go back through many iterations of LGBTQ+ senior groups in Rochester. Some members today belonged to earlier groups like OMEGA which evolved into Rainbow Seniors, Rainbow SAGE and finally SAGE Rochester under the Out Alliance umbrella. When Covid-19 caused the Out Alliance to suspend operations, a core of former SAGE leaders decided to return to an "independent" agency model, to ensure that seniors are always the highest priority. We now operate as an incorporated, independent 501c3 nonprofit: Rainbow Seniors ROC Inc... As we work to improve quality-of-life for LGBTQ+ older adults, we also build relationships with the aging service sector, fostering improved understanding for health care providers..
