Somos Familia is a community-based organization founded by two friends determined to create a safer, more welcoming world for Latinx/Latiné Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) youth and their families. Our volunteers lead peer support and education programs, offering workshops on acceptance, gender and sexuality terminology, and how to be an ally. Each year, we reach hundreds of childcare providers, community groups, school staff, youth, and parents—transforming hearts and minds through understanding and advocacy.

Programs at Somos Familia:

  • SOMOS ELLES: A youth organizing program supporting emerging leaders committed to advancing social justice and equity for LGBTQ+ youth.
  • HIV Prevention Programming: Our initiative dedicated to providing education, resources, and community support to reduce HIV transmission among Latinx/Latiné LGBTQ+ individuals. We collaborate with local health providers to offer testing, counseling, and stigma-reduction strategies.
  • Family Leadership Development: A support group by and for Spanish-speaking families with LGBTQ+ loved ones, creating safe spaces for education, mutual support, and community-building.
