Over the years!  Greater Yavapai County Coalition has brought Programs, Resources and Events to Rural Northern Arizona and Yavapai County.

Here are some of the programs that GYCC has developed:

The name Greater Yavapai County Coalition served us well!

The next evolution of GYCC’s Logo

With an amazing, hard working team and the help of a vibrant and supportive LGBTQ+ Community, GYCC has built partnerships and joined coalitions that have brought support and resources to our rural Northern Arizona Areas.

…to name a few

As GYCC we have also become involved in the Organizations that provide support to Yavapai County.

GYCC is a part of



  • Over the last two years, through the Pandemic, GYCC has rolled up it’s sleeves and become involved with First Responders, Community Health Organizations and many Agencies that provide basic support such as housing, emergency food and shelter and advocacy.

We started the Covid Support Box Program which has provided over 200 Boxes to individuals, children and families who are dealing with Covid.

GYCC is a part of this Community and as we head into 2022, we hope to become even more involved in building an inclusive, safe and vibrant Northern Arizona.

In 2022, we wanted a name that could move forward with us. One that represented the LGBTQ+ Community and was easily identified and remembered when it was on a list of Resources and Service Organizations.


We invited the LGBTQ+ Community to get involved with name suggestions and had a great response! We narrowed the names from seventy, to ten to three and after much careful thought, finally agreed on PRISM NETWORK

A NEW VISION

A huge thanks to everyone who took the time to share their vision of what they wanted GYCC to become.  Stay tuned as we update our Website and Logos over the next month.
