Amazing staff and services at this AIDS Service Organization! Since 2009 when I first moved to Arizona I have been impressed with the programs and services they offer to their clients, and the outreach to the communities in the city where we live is unparalleled. From their "Lunch and Learn" events, to tailored men's and women's groups, and the referrals to youth programs and more, this has been a valuable resource for thousands of people every year. I volunteered for over a year in the clinic there, and I'm hoping to be able to volunteer again in their CAM Clinic soon, to provide holistic modalities that compliment the already amazing work they do!
