Founded in 1972, The San Diego LGBT Community Center (The Center) is one of the largest and most dynamic LGBTQ organizations in the country, serving as the LGBTQ community’s anchor organization and a regional leader in housing, behavioral and sexual health services, youth and senior services, community empowerment, civic engagement and social justice advocacy. Over the past three years, The Center has experienced an exciting period of growth for our programs and services. We are led by a 11-member board of directors, overseeing an annual operating budget of $10.2M. Our team of nearly 90 staff, supported by over 1,200 community volunteers, provides targeted programs and services to the full diversity of the San Diego LGBTQ community, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, transgender, nonbinary, immigrant, and HIV communities. Last year The Center provided more than 80,000 direct service visit hours to San Diego community members, and through its events, activities and advocacy, touched the lives of thousands more.
