All our programs and services are available in both English and Spanish and are free.

In addition we reach over 12,000 more people through our HIV/AIDS Education and Prevention Outreach Program. Pacific Pride is also the local expert on issues relating to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities in Santa Barbara County.
History:
In 1984 Pacific Pride began developing and implementing services to respond locally to the AIDS pandemic. Today we're the largest service provider between L.A. and San Francisco that helps men, women and children living with, affected by, or at risk of HIV and AIDS. Last year we provided services to over 540 men, women and children living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. Since 1975 our agency has been the local expert on issues relating to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in Santa Barbara County. Last year we provided services to over 750 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth and adults.
