The Center Long Beach
by the numbers
Did you know that
During an average month approx. 200 people come to The Center for free HIV and/or STD testing. With our new HIV Counseling and Testing Program, we will be able to test even more people a month.
During an average week The Center hosts over 20 social and support programs ranging from a coming out group, to living with AIDS, to bi-sexual chat
these groups serve more than 350 people per week.
During an average month, our Community Health Coordinator will speak to 250 at-risk individuals and inform then about risk reduction and health education.
During an average week more than 60 people are using our newly created mental Health Counseling Center, and that number is growing every week. By the first week in September, we will have 9 interns doing counseling at The Center.
During an average day 25-30 youth (age 14- 20) come to The Center to participate in our mentoring youth empowerment program (MYTE).
During the last 9-12 months public and government funding for every one of these programs have been either eliminated, or cut drastically.
The only way The Center can continue to support our community with these services, is with YOUR HELP!
