Arianna’s Center will engage, empower and lift up the trans community of South Florida, with a special emphasis on the most marginalized including the Trans Latinx community, undocumented immigrants, people living with HIV/AIDS, and those that have experienced incarceration.

Your support will help us find a physical space for Arianna’s Center and help many more individuals in the trans community. Our services use an integrated case management model so we can gain a holistic understanding of each client’s needs and priorities.

Our organization is one of the only organizations in all of Florida that is led by and anchored within the transgender community. We are the only organization that combines competency around immigrant experiences (including undocumented immigrants); sex workers; HIV and trans competence. Pound for pound, we deliver broader and more significant services than any existing provider. We are trusted and respected within the community.
