Somali Family Service of San Diego is a nonprofit organization in the civic and social services sector. Founded in 2000 and based in San Diego, it provides programs and services that are culturally and linguistically tailored for Somali and other East African residents as they adapt to life in the United States. The organization centers its work on addressing a gap in local support for Somali and East African immigrants and refugees, noting that existing providers are not specifically oriented to this population. It operates as a community-based service agency aimed at helping clients navigate their new environment and participate more fully in community life.

Its offerings include education in leadership, financial literacy, health education and career planning, designed to support participants as they pursue greater opportunities. Through these activities, Somali Family Service strives to promote equal opportunity and to foster better understanding and communication between Somalis, other East Africans and the broader San Diego community. By focusing on culturally aware supports for immigrant populations, the organization positions itself within the civic and social services landscape as a provider of targeted assistance for East African residents.
