ABOUT SOUTH SIDE HELP CENTER
South Side Help Center has been serving Chicago’s South Side for thirty-eight years. It is purposed to help people of all ages embrace positive, healthy alternatives, enabling them to lead productive lives. Its programs and services have evolved from those specifically dedicated to HIV/AIDS education and youth violence prevention, to include a myriad of foundational to advanced programs, methodologies, and advocacy to better serve the needs of its clients and the community.
In March 2015, under the leadership of its current executive director, Vanessa Smith (daughter of Founder, Betty Smith), the agency became an affiliate of AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the largest global AIDS organization, and enlarged its capacity to serve.
