About Compass Community Center:

Compass has been providing life-saving services to the residents of Palm Beach County and South Florida for 35 years. Our mission is to engage, empower, and enrich the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people and those impacted by HIV and AIDS. For over three decades, we have created a safe space for youth in Palm Beach County, offering social support, community service, arts & cultural activities, educational, and leadership opportunities.

We strive to ensure that all youth in Palm Beach County are safe from discrimination and harassment, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Thousands of youth and their families have accessed services through our Youth Program since its inception, making it one of the longest-running and largest LGBTQ+ youth programs in the Southeast United States.

As part of our commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ youth, we offer Youth Social Groups at Compass and there are various partner locations in the community, such as Belle Glade, Jupiter and Wellington. These groups provide a safe and affirming space for LGBTQ+ youth ages 12-18 to connect, find support, and engage in meaningful activities.

Compass offers FREE therapy for youth who are under 22 years of age and identify as LGBTQ.

In addition, Compass offers a twice-a-month social support group for parents and guardians of LGBTQ children and teens called Proud Parent.
