Asian Community AIDS Services (ACAS) greatly values your consideration on becoming a volunteer.  Your reasons for volunteering can fit a diverse spectrum from wanting to help in a cause that you believe in, applying your skill in a new setting, to finding challenges in a new experience among friends or a new community group.  ACAS believes that volunteering is a very rewarding and worthwhile experience.

Unlike other volunteer service organizations, ACAS is a unique service organization to volunteer in.  ACAS is an HIV/AIDS service organization that specifically provides service to the East and Southeast Asian communities.  Our services and programs are diverse and encompass a wide variety of work that touches on:

• education and youth development
• health and wellness
• social services
• societal and public benefit
• human rights advocacy

 ACAS depends on the help of many volunteers to plan and deliver our services.  You can help achieve our goals by:

• serving as a service and support provider
• enhancing our organization to perform our work by providing your personalized help in terms of personal care and counseling to our clients
• assisting in a range of administrative tasks such as office work, training, or fundraising
• acting as a link to the communities we serve through your involvement and voice
• attracting other volunteers and friends to help us grow
• or simply, donating your time, energy, or money to help in any capacity you can to enhance the well-being of people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS

To volunteer, review the section on Steps To Volunteering, drop by our office to meet our staff, or simply fill out a volunteer application form either online or in person at our office.
