Put Your Compassion Into Action!

Want to be of service to someone with HIV/AIDS? Volunteer in our CareTeam Program and make a difference in the life of a person with HIV/AIDS!

CareTeams are groups of 4-7 volunteers who provide practical and emotional support to a person or household affected by the loneliness and isolation of HIV/AIDS and/or addiction. CareTeam members build supportive relationships with those we serve through:

. Listening nonjudgmentally

. Sharing coffee or a meal

. Giving a ride to the doctor

. Visiting when sick

. Celebrating special occasions

Training topics include:

. HIV/AIDS 101

. Grief and loss

. Active listening

. Mental health

. Addiction and recovery

. Working with stigmatized populations

Volunteers agree to a commitment of a minimum of 3 hours per month for one year.

The next Rosehedge Multifaith Works CareTeam training is Saturday, April 28th from 8:45am to 5pm at 1401 E. Jefferson.
