Founded in 1988, Compass continues being a leader in HIV prevention and an organizer of information and referral services for gays and lesbians who needed assistance as they navigate toward empowered, healthy, productive lives. Compass remains the sole provider of crisis and care services for people living with HIV for the Palm Beach Department of Health, has HIV case management services to connect newly-diagnosed people to care, and continues its tradition as an expert in HIV prevention activities.

In 1999, with the help of a generous contribution from Ken Adams, Compass set an ambitious goal – to make all of Palm Beach County a safe place for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. Compass created one of the largest outreach events of its kind in Florida’s history, PrideFest of the Palm Beaches. Then, to connect local residents to their elected officials, Compass created the Stonewall Ball, along with the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council, so that our unique and diverse voices would be heard and understood by those with the responsibility to lead us.

Compass accomplishes its mission each day by emboldening our youth, promoting pride in our community, and acting as an educator, advocate, health service provider, and focal point for community organizing. As good neighbors, effective partners, and respected participants in our civic responsibilities, Compass promotes awareness of the caring nature of our diverse community, and continues to make history doing so.
