Rainbow Access Initiative is created to address the educational needs of medical and social service professionals regarding the genuine heath and human service issues of the LGBT communities. Rainbow Access Initiative [RAI] began as a Department of Health grant-driven project of the Council of Community Services of NYS, Inc. and is currently registered with the State of New York as 402 Not-For-Profit Corporation applying for 501(c) Federal status.

The work of Rainbow Access Initiative Inc. focuses exclusively on two goals: the training of health and human service professionals regarding LGBT people, and the empowerment of health care consumers who are LGBT. We are particularly sensitive to the needs of the underserved members within the LGBT community and those with less access to quality health care. This includes people of color, those who are poor, those living in rural areas, families and youth, and those who are elderly or living with chronic or terminal health conditions.
