Building a Future

Originally part of our HOPWA program, our Building a Future classes have expanded to include everyone in need - whether they are HIV+ or HIV-. All classes are open to everyone.

Building a Future classes are taught by experts in their field. People in the community are welcome to lend their expertise and teach a class. The classes' topics are flexible; even if your expertise doesn't quite fit into one of the current course titles, there is a monthly class with special topics.
