This position gives volunteers the opportunity to meet new people, develop their skills on approaching strangers and gives practical experience to those interested in public health. Additionally, all STOP AIDS volunteers are invited to special volunteer events throughout the year.
How this Position Helps:
The individual discussions that take place during outreach help men to evaluate their risk for HIV/ STD’s and give them the opportunity to ask questions.
