Compass Community Center, based in Lake Worth, Florida, operates within the civic and social sector with a focus on HIV prevention and related services for the LGBTQ+ community. It serves as an information and referral hub, provides crisis and care services for people living with HIV through the Palm Beach Department of Health, and offers HIV case management to connect newly diagnosed individuals to care. In addition to direct health services, the organization engages in outreach, education, and community organizing to promote health, pride, and resilient communities. Since its founding in 1988, Compass has engaged in advocacy, community events, and health education, including PrideFest of the Palm Beaches and the Stonewall Ball, reinforcing its role in HIV prevention in the region. The 2022 collaboration with Norton to host an Art After Dark Pride Month event demonstrates ongoing partnerships that broaden its engagement with the LGBTQ+ community.
