HIV Testers Needed! Training Opportunity

As you are likely aware, in June we saw a tremendous turnout at this year's PRIDE festivities, with 20,000 people attending the parade alone, showing up to support  over 2,000 marchers! Building on this momentum, we at Northwest Arkansas Equality are renewing our commitment to provide greater access to resources for the LGBTQ+ community. As part of our annual strategic plan, we will be revamping and augmenting our free and confidential HIV testing program, offering expanded office hours and testing opportunities to those in need. 

In order to do this, though, we need your help! We are looking to build out our pool of volunteers, and so we are working with the Department of Health to host a comprehensive training session for any and all who are interested in serving as HIV testers. This is a crucial service and the need is great!

The details for the training and the expectations can be found below (please do note that this would be a two-day time commitment). If you are willing/able to participate, please contact Steve Harrelson (steve.harrelson@nwaequality.org) no later than COB Thursday, July 25.
