Latino Service Providers

What Latino Service Providers does

Latino Service Providers (LSP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1989 and headquartered at 1000 Apollo Way, Suite 185, Santa Rosa, California. The organization operates as a community-based bridge connecting the Latinx population of Sonoma County to essential resources, with a current network of 1,400+ members spanning individuals, community-based organizations, and local businesses. Under Executive Director Stephanie Manieri, LSP employs approximately 9 staff members delivering services free of charge, including bilingual resource navigation, harm reduction supplies (naloxone and fentanyl test strips), diaper and hygiene support, and the flagship Youth Promotor Internship Program — a 12-month paid internship for bilingual/bicultural youth ages 16-25 focused on mental health awareness, emergency preparedness, civic engagement, and environmental education.

The Youth Promotor Internship Program, launched in 2017, is the organization's primary programmatic asset. Since inception it has trained 244 youth ambassadors who have collectively completed over 5,000 hours of training and service, participated in 200+ community events, and generated 26,000+ social media impressions. Reported outcomes include 97% of Youth Promotores reporting increased confidence, 98% of community participants reporting positive knowledge change after presentations, 95% feeling more connected to peers and staff, and 49% helping a family member or friend seek mental health services. The program is supported by a voluntary Concilio community advisory group and funded primarily by the California Department of Public Health and Sonoma County Mental Health Services Act (MHSA).

LSP's revenue model is grant-dependent and free at the point of service. Documented capital includes a $1,000,000 State of California grant (2016) and a $716,134.92 Public Health Institute Center for Wellness and Nutrition grant (March 2024), supplemented by recurring support from United Way, Health Care Foundation, Kaiser Permanente, CFSC, MCF, SF Community Foundation, individual and corporate donations, and fundraising events such as Loteria Night at Balletto Vineyards and LSPooky Fest. There are no technology products, no proprietary software platform, and no disclosed plans to expand beyond Sonoma County. The organization's distribution channels are direct — in-person appointments at headquarters, community-based pláticas and workshops, and a Spanish-language website supplemented by Facebook, Instagram, email newsletters, and the "In the Mind of the YP" podcast on Spotify.
