So much of what
we are able to accomplish each day at SisterLove would not be possible
without volunteer support. Our CareWorks Volunteer Program is an
exciting way for individuals to support SisterLove while also acquiring
new skills and experiences.
Volunteers
attend group or individual orientations and participate in Basic
HIV/AIDS and Safer Sex Workshops that provide an introduction to some of
the prevention education services provided in our community. After
completing orientation and the HIV/AIDS workshop, many are ready to
begin their volunteer service. A few volunteer opportunities
require additional training that is provided free of charge for those
willing to make a commitment to SisterLove and to their
community.
If you are
interested in volunteering contact SisterLove today by E-mail
or by calling 404-753-7733. Below are just a few of the volunteer
opportunities available at SisterLove.
