Education
Education is one of the most important elements in preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS. By using certified health educators and outreach workers, we deliver proven interventions and materials to individuals in their own neighborhoods where they face the challenges that place them at risk. Free presentations are available and given to schools, churches, offices, and the community.
