Since opening in July 2000, The Hillcrest Youth Center has served more than 4,500 youth. The HYC is the only drop-in facility for LGBTQ youth in San Diego County. The Hillcrest Youth Center offers cyber/computer training, health education, basic financial education, diversity and cultural awareness workshops and seminars, youth leadership training, case management, HIV prevention education, life skills training workshops, discussion groups, counseling services, and social activities.

However, the heart of what The Hillcrest Youth Center offers is much larger than their excellent programs. The HYC is committed to providing safe space, adult leadership, and educational opportunities for high-risk youth to develop into responsible, productive and fully participating citizens.
