Bienestar is a community-based social services organization serving Greater Los Angeles. Their focus is on identifying and addressing emerging health issues faced by Latinx and LGBTQ+ populations. Bienestar reaches these unique populations through innovative and compassionate peer-to-peer modeling that is 100% culturally relevant to the communities they serve.

• Bienestar’s education and support programs encompass HIV/AIDS prevention, STI testing and treatment, mental health services, substance use, and harm reduction. All of their services are offered to the community for free.

• Bienestar operates community centers across Los Angeles County located in East Los Angeles, Hollywood, Long Beach, Pomona, San Fernando Valley, and South Los Angeles. Additionally, Bienestar can always be seen in the community, providing free HIV testing at nightclubs, giving presentations at local colleges, or sharing resources and information at health fairs and other events.

They are always accepting motivated and enthusiastic volunteers to help with their different programs and services for the community. Volunteer tasks and assignments vary across each of their centers, staff, and programs.
