International Alliance for the Prevention of AIDS (IAPA)
Are you interested in an unforgettable experience on the other side of the world?
Do you want to help others in a meaningful and significant way while gaining new cultural understanding?
The International Alliance for the Prevention of AIDS (IAPA) Summer Volunteer Program may be what you have been searching for. Every year, we select a group of students from Arizona universities to volunteer in Southeast India for two months in an effort to stem the growth of HIV transmission rates. Our volunteers are trained as teachers, spreading HIV/AIDS prevention education to high schools and high-risk communities. We also work closely with local orphanages and develop our own additional side projects to make an impact in other aspects of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Our volunteers will meet and interact with people from the US and from India with whom they will be able to form lasting relationships.
This is a life-changing opportunity that will not only contribute greatly to your personal growth, but will also stand out on any resume for medical or graduate school.
If you are interested in this program, please check out the IAPA website at http://www.iapaindia.org. To see more lives you could impact, you can also check out http://www.sheltertrust.org and http://www.peace-trust.in.

Informational sessions will be hosted in the near future, so be on the lookout for more emails about IAPA!
