Mission Statement
BIENESTAR is committed to enhancing the health and well-being of the Latino community and other Underserved communities. Bienestar accomplishes this through community education, prevention, mobilization, advocacy, and the provision of direct social support services.
Description
Bienestar is a grass-roots, non-profit community service organization established in 1989. Bienestar originated as a direct result of neglect and non-existent HIV/AIDS services for the Latino community. Since our establishment, Bienestar has evolved into a multi-service, multi-center agency, offering services throughout Los Angeles County, San Bernardino County, and San Diego. Our team is comprised of bilingual and bicultural staff and volunteers that are demographically, culturally, and linguistically representative of the communities we serve. Our health models have set the standard of excellence for peer-driven services throughout the United States and Latin America. We strongly believe that the solutions to our community challenges can be found within our community. Bienestar invites you to be a part of our solution.
