WHAT'S AHEAD

24 Hour Wake

The 24 Hour Wake is our first national, educational, fundraising event where students stay awake for 24 hours! The first wake was held in 2004 -- before Facebook, Instagram and TikTok ever existed! For 2020, we’re modernizing the 24 Hour Wake to become relevant to today’s youth.

NoTimeToWait 2020

#YouthHIV #YouthHIVCan

NoTimeToWait 2020 is our inaugural Youth-HIV Leadership Conference. Leading the way for the next generation of HIV advocacy initiatives; we give participants - youth of all diversities and ranges - an opportunity to engage in HIV leadership and activism. Due to COVID-19, this conference will be held virtually.

Office Expansion

It’s only 2020, right? We’re currently expanding our location to turn it into a multi-purpose space (Peer Education movie night, anyone?) that will help us continue doing the things we love! Additionally, this expansion will also be able to make room for the presence of a social worker in partnership with the University of Windsor and meet Ontario’s COVID-19 social distancing guidelines.

LETTER FROM PAUL

More than ten years ago, I stood alongside Shamin and his ideal that one person can make a difference. Our reach started with a small team headed to South Africa. We’ve obviously grown from that and have built a profile not only there, but globally and here at home. It’s up to us to raise the youth voice via the LetsStopAIDS Board of Directors.

Don’t be left out of the conversation. Add your voice and your care. The Board of Directors helps to shape LetsStopAIDS now and for the future. We are the voice of LetsStopAIDS. Be heard!

GRASSROOTS TO GLOBAL - IMPROVING STANDARDS

We want our programmes to get the recognition they deserve. While improving our success measurements by using data analytics to collect and share information about our work-- we intend to apply to Imagine Canada’s Standards Program to invest in our credibility.

None of this would be possible without our 300+ volunteers!!! To respect the privacy of some of our volunteers, we cannot list our 2019 volunteers, but we value, trust and respect our amazing team for making everything we do possible!

Get Involved!

LetsStopAIDS is the intersection of energetic people, a crucial mission and where a few dollars make a huge, measurable and global impact. Your involvement can make a huge impact on so many lives.

SHARE who we are! Tell your peers and fellow community members to get involved in the conversation around HIV and help out the communities around them.

VOLUNTEER and become a Friend. We’re always looking for people who are interested in what we do and can bring their skills to the table that will contribute to our initiative.

DONATE! Whether it be your time or a few dollars, every bit counts towards making a difference. PARTNER up with us! Join our group of Friends for opportunities to support our programmes and make an impact towards collaborating with local youth!
