VOLUNTEERS Volunteers are the lifeblood of any organization, but the connection between volunteers and the success of an organization is even more real at BEHIV. BEHIV was founded in 1989 by volunteers—community members who realized that they needed to do something to help people in the Chicago area infected and affected by HIV and AIDS. Today, volunteers help BEHIV in a number of ways. Without volunteers, BEHIV would not be able to complete its work and assist its clients in the ways they deserve.
Check out the volunteer opportunities listed below, then download a volunteer application and return it to our office. We’ll contact you soon about how you can help.
