ORIGIN STORY * 1992 *

In 1992, three women artists and one community organizer founded REACH LA in response to the lack of HIV/AIDS prevention education for youth of color. They worked with teenage youth to develop educational programming that was targeted to combat the rise in HIV infection rates. Our current approach includes HIV prevention education, HIV testing, linkage to care, and mental health support services for HIV positive and high-risk negative youth and young adults. In addition, we host a variety of creative arts programming to create space for local community artists through visual and performance mediums. REACH LA has built a safe and supportive environment that strives to educate, motivate and mobilize youth around sexual/reproductive health, culture and self-preservation.
