Client Services
Volunteer Program
As we begin the new millenium and witness the continued growth of HIV infection, our need for volunteers is increasing. We know that volunteers contribute significantly to our performance as a designeated treatment center, so we rely on our volunteers to enhance the delivery of services to our clients. Due to the multitude of services we provide there are many opportunities available for dedicated individuals to assist us in providing continued excellence in patient care.
Our volunteer mission is for ongoing excellence in service to the HIV community as well as a guarantee that our volunteers will be satisfied in the work they perform. There are many opportunites available which allow our volunteers to contribute to the AIDS Program. The following are just some of what we have to offer:
We are especially proud of our "Sponsor" Program. It is our mission to provide the finest in medical care and services to our patients. In recognizing this, we have established a "Sponsor Program," where dedicated and caring individuals volunteer their time to provide our clients with additional assistance and emotional support (e.g. assistance with entitlements, navigating "the system," and companionship around HIV related issues).
We recognize that sometimes Case Managers and Medical Providers cannot always completely understand where patients are, and we need caring volunteers to "give back" helping us accomplish our goal of providing comprehensive care to our patients. The AIDS Program is committed to providing the necessary training needed to accomplish this mission.
With this, we invite you to join us in a very rewarding volunteer experience. Contact the volunteer office here at the AIDS Program at (518) 262-6864. We look forward to hearing from you.
