With the school year underway, there’s still plenty happening outside the classroom! 🙌
Our Youth Center gives youth and families a welcoming place to unwind, connect with others, learn new things, and have fun. Everyone is welcome!

From cultural activities and sports to art, cooking, mental wellness, and life skills, there are different ways to get involved throughout the week. Whether it’s making moccasins, learning traditional games, joining a fitness activity, or simply spending time together, there’s something for everyone.

Our programs are open to youth ages 10–24, with activities available in person and online.
School is important, but so is having a space to connect, recharge, and be part of a community.

Around 10 community members joined us for our recent Wellness Connection, coming together for stretching, a food demonstration, and a Talking Circle focused on their experiences and what matters to them.

A special thank you to our staff, Leanne and Marian, for creating a welcoming space for community members to connect, participate, and be heard. We’re also grateful to our partner, Blue Shield of California, for joining us and listening directly to our community.

We’re here to listen, learn, and continue building with our community.

During National Substance Use Primary Prevention Month, we’re reminded why access to lifesaving resources matters.

Recently, someone left these handwritten notes outside our clinic. They shared that the free naloxone we provide helped save their life—and that they’ve since shared naloxone with others so they can have it nearby too.

Naloxone saves lives. Having it nearby can give someone another chance to make it home, see their family, and be here tomorrow.

Free naloxone is available to our community outside the San Diego Community Health Center.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Gathering of Native Americans (GONA).
Over the weekend, community members, youth, families, Elders, facilitators, and partners came together to strengthen connections, share experiences, and support one another through culture, wellness, and community.

Throughout the gathering, participants had the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations, cultural activities, and shared learning that celebrated resilience, healing, and the strength of our community. GONA continues to provide a welcoming space where relationships are built, voices are heard, and traditions help guide us toward a healthier future.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this year's GONA such a meaningful experience. We are grateful to share this journey with our community and look forward to gathering again next year.
