CJ RICHARDSON

Outreach Coordinator (he/him)

“Hi, my name is CJ Richardson, and I am the new Outreach Coordinator for SoCal Club. After completing my undergrad in Political science and International Relations, I spent the bulk of my professional career working to support underserved communities both international and domestically. I am so happy to get to continue that work here with this amazing organization.

A fun fact about me is I served as a Peace Corps volunteer after finishing my undergrad. I was assigned to a small village in Guyana where I worked at the local school and health center helping to support however I could."

JORDAN SMITH

Health Education & Outreach Specialist (he/him)

“Hello! I'm Jordan, the Health Education and Outreach Specialist at SoCal Club. Alongside my role, I'm also a student at UCLA pursuing a dual degree in Community Health Sciences and African Studies for my MPH/MA. My journey in this field began as an intern in Ghana, focusing on HIV/AIDS prevention among queer men and trans women. This experience cemented my desire to extend my efforts back home in the United States. Growing up in Compton, CA, I've always been driven to create a supportive environment for queer folks in my community. Working at SoCal Club gives me the opportunity to make a meaningful impact. I'm grateful for the chance to contribute here, and if you're ever around, don't hesitate to drop by and say hello!”

PATRICK FLYNN

SoCal Club Case Worker (he/him)

Hello! My name is Patrick, I am the Case Worker here at Men’s Health Foundation SoCal Club. I also lead our Transitional Housing Assistance Program. I started with the organization as a patient access specialist for both our primary care clinic and rapid results/research department. My background has been in sports medicine, having previously worked as a PTA and medical assistant for an Orthopedic surgeon fellow.  

I am originally from the United Kingdom, having lived in California for 8 years. I have been involved with HIV organizations and local community centers from my earlier days, growing up in government housing. For this reason, I feel very passionate about the community and the resources we provide here at SoCal Club.  

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and camping in the great outdoors.   

BILLY WILLIAMS

Outreach Specialist (he/him)

“Hey there! My name is Billy, I usually go by Ray or Rayshawn. I’m so excited to be joining Men’s Health Foundation as one of the new Outreach Specialists. As a former patient/participant with MHF and the services available at the SoCal Club location, I’ve been blessed to experience the positive and non-judgmental/family-oriented nature of this organization first-hand. Outside of work I’m a huge lover of nature. So…in other words, I love rainy days, the beach, and nature trails. Music is my heartbeat and food is the air I breath.”

KEVIN CASTANEDA

Patient Access Specialist (he/him)

SoCal Club has opened up so many doors and has allowed me to create meaningful relationships with my community. Growing up in South LA, it was very difficult to find a space where I felt that I could be a thousand percent me and SoCal Club has been that space.

I was very fortunate to have come from a very understanding and accepting family, so my goal is to create the same environment for those who haven’t had the best experience feel like we’re the home away from home, surrounded by the people here at the SoCal Club.
