Join
the Men’s Program by volunteering with us.
Bathhouse
Outreach:
For
many years Lifelong has been working within the bathhouses
and sex clubs in Seattle to provide condoms and educational
information. Trained volunteers answer questions about safer
sex, hand out safer-sex kits and give people information about
HIV testing and STD screening. . This volunteer opportunity
requires training; see “How Do I Get To Be A Volunteer”
below for details.
General
Volunteer Assistance:
If
you would like to volunteer to help the program on an administrative
level we are looking for volunteers to help us put together
our safer-sex kits and other projects. This group meets Thursday
evenings from 5:00PM – 8:00PM at Lifelong’s Annex
Building at 1161 11th Ave (on the corner of 11th and East
Union). For more information on this call our volunteer coordinator
at (206) 957-1650. There is no training necessary
for this volunteer opportunity.
How
Do I Get To Be A Volunteer?
Each
volunteer is given ample training in order to be prepared
and knowledgeable for doing outreach. The first stop is contacting
the Men’s Program (phone: (206) 957-1703
email: mensprev@llaa.org)
to let us know that you are interested in volunteering. We
will then send you a volunteer application for you to fill
out and return to us. Then we will let you know when and where
our next Community Outreach Volunteer Training will held.
At this training you will be given information on the various
outreach opportunities that exist, gather information about
HIV and STDs as well as risk-reduction information and scenarios
to practice your skills on.
The
next step would be deciding if you would like to attend the
Bathhouse Outreach Training or the Internet Outreach Training.
Those are follow-up training on specific policies, guidelines
and more in-depth aspects of those styles of outreach. Following
those trainings you will have the opportunity to work side-by-side
with a volunteer within the venue so that you have hands-on
experience. After that you will be ready to go solo and volunteer
to strengthen our community and help to reinforce safer-sex
norms.
