Founded in 1972 and based in San Diego, The San Diego LGBT Community Center operates as a central LGBTQ organization and regional hub for a broad range of services. Its programs span housing, behavioral and sexual health services, youth and senior supports, and efforts in community empowerment, civic engagement, and social justice advocacy. In 2023, the Center partnered with San Diego Youth Services and the YMCA of San Diego to provide case management, transportation assistance, employment support, and outreach to street-involved youth, along with basic needs such as food and clothing. A May 2024 development notes the launch of two seasons of C2: Critical Conversations, described as addressing health justice. Together, these activities reflect the Center's role as a major regional leader in LGBTQ-focused civic, health, and social support services in the San Diego area.
