OUR MISSION

By empowering Southern queer youth and building community through music and the arts, QORDS is a vehicle for expressing gender and sexuality, and harbors an environment of self-discovery and social change.

OUR CORE VALUES

We are committed to promoting the creativity, affirmation, leadership, abundance and voices of Southern queer youth. We recognize that gender and sexuality are multidimensional concepts & we aim to cultivate intersectional spaces and claim music & the arts as a vehicle of queer empowerment!
