In order to develop into successful adults, our LGBTQ youth need a safe, welcoming, and affirming space where they can be themselves and access the resources they need. Established in 2000, Our Hillcrest Youth Center (HYC) was the first LGBTQ drop-in and recreational center in San Diego County, and our South Bay Youth Center (SBYC) was established in 2019 as a hub for youth and families in Chula Vista. Both Youth Centers are dedicated to the needs of LGBTQ and nonbinary youth, as well as youth living with HIV.
Please reach out to HYC@thecentersd.org and/or southbayyouth@thecentersd.org or see calendars below.
We are excited to connect with you! To stay up-to-date on our programs and services and what’s going on at Your Center, sign up to receive our weekly E-News and connect with us on social media.
