“Recognizing ACT’s 30th year feels as though the agency has reached a level of maturity ...there’s still a need to support our community and make sure people keep informed. It’s as if we’re saying, Okay, there’s still a need for us 30 years in, what do we need to do next?” ADAM SALTER - ACT VOLUNTEER

how did you first get involved with act? Why stay involved with ACT? I started helping out at the front desk around I did take a break for a few years but returned to 1988 or 1989. There were no computers then so it volunteering because I valued the opportunity to give was a very hands-on, very responsive experience. back to the community, to work alongside people I Answering phone calls and providing basic HIV respected. It is also rewarding to be able to contribute transmission—there was still a need to correct so my own skills and experiences to particular projects much misinformation—people seeking counselling or while developing new skills and taking the opportunity advice on funeral and/or estate planning. I’d say the to enjoy new experiences. most common things we were hearing from people were how to deal with the sense of isolation and Why is volunteering at ACT important? handling confidentiality. Issues that continue today. There is strength in numbers. Volunteers help get the word out and creates a community that reaches those WhY CHOOSE to volunteer with ACT? who may feel isolated or those seeking information. Myself, as well of many of my friends and colleagues, It’s important for people to know that ACT exists, had previously accessed ACT services. It was that HIV/AIDS is still an issue and that support is important to me, when looking for a place to devote available. That’s why our presence at public events like my spare time, that I volunteer with an organization Pride or the Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life is so that shared my values, that I found inspiring, and that important, it says to people: Support is available from made an impact. an agency that has your best interests at heart.
