All of our work is aligned to fight HIV-related stigma, and focuses on A&PIs who experience the most extreme forms of discrimination and have the least access to quality services. The agency’s greatest assets – our Board of Directors, staff and volunteers – reflect the talents and diversity of the communities we serve; as a cornerstone of our cultural competency, our staff speak 20 languages. Our work is rooted in our core values – Client-Centeredness, Compassion, Justice, Leadership, Respect, Sex-Positivity, and Wellness – which anchor our strategic thinking, our service delivery models, our community collaborations, and our organizational culture.
