VAIN has Volunteer and Intern opportunities for everyone. If you just want to volunteer/intern a few hours a month, or if you want to make a deeper commitment, VAIN can sure use your help. We are committed to working with all our volunteers to expand not only their understanding of HIV/AIDS, but to develop leadership abilities by including public speaking and organizing information for Tabling and by developing volunteers/interns to eventually become ambassadors and organizers for a cause.
