Pledge to make a difference, together.
Vancouver Island PWA Society is the ONLY peer based HIV/AIDS organization on Vancouver Island. We are a non-profit, member based organization made up of HIV+ people. A volunteer Board of Directors, all of whom are living with HIV/AIDS, governs our Society. This is to ensure the stability of our grassroots philosophy of ‘By PWA’s for PWA’s’, in keeping with our person supporting model of service. In addtion to supporting our mission, we also offer life enhancement activities and a number of programs and services to our membership. Many of these programs and services are prepared and operated by HIV+ member volunteers themselves. With staff support we encourage this as we feel it enables self-empowerment for our members and promotes self-improvement through a healthy lifestyle and outlook on the future. All proceeds and donations go to support these programs and services directly. With one staff person we ensure the larger percentage of funding goes to support these important services.
