Central Ohio Leather & Beyond (COL&B) exists to strengthen, connect, and support Central Ohio’s Leather, kink, fetish, pet play, and allied communities through education, advocacy, collaboration, and community engagement. We work to foster an inclusive and sustainable community where individuals and organizations can build meaningful connections, share resources, develop leadership, preserve our histories and traditions, and promote cultures of informed consent, accountability, respect, and personal autonomy.

COL&B provides a collaborative structure through which community organizations, leaders, and members can work together while maintaining their distinct identities. By creating opportunities for education, communication, service, and collective action, we seek to build a stronger, safer, and more connected community where people can participate authentically and help shape its future.
