What you get:
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

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. Additionally, the surveys conducted during these conversations represent the largest collection of data on gay men’s sexual behavior
