Speakers Bureau

The staff and volunteers of the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation Speakers Bureau work to correct the myths and misconceptions about HIV/AIDS. By sharing their experiences with the public, they challenge the stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS by putting a human face on the disease. Through education, we hope to improve the acceptance of people living with HIV/AIDS in society. We also promote a strategy of HIV prevention, to help reduce the transmission of the virus.

Trained volunteers, all of whom live with HIV/AIDS, conduct speaking engagements at public schools, colleges, universities, health centres, businesses, companies, correctional facilities and other social services.

If you have any questions about this program, contact the Speakers Bureau Coordinator.

"Changing the world "one story at a time"

People Living with HIV Speaker Series
Pride Week 2011

June 29th & June 30th; 6pm-9pm

Storytelling is a part of life, intrinsic in most cultures. They help people make sense of the world--life’s experiences, dilemmas and hardships. Stories can educate, inspire and can provide the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of one’s experiences and oneself. The Toronto People With AIDS Foundation is excited to present a unique, enlightening and intimate speaker series that highlights the diverse stories of people living with HIV/AIDS in Toronto.

In addition to the speakers’ presentations, a peer from PWA’s Poz Prevention program will provide some insight into the role of this program in their life and community.

Space is limited. To register, please phone the Speakers Bureau Coordinator.
