Join the Black Men’s HIV Leadership Capacity Building Initiative
Posted August 30, 2024
We are cultivating a vibrant community of practice dedicated to enhancing leadership skills and fostering the professional growth of Black men within the HIV workforce. Through online and in-person engagements, we aim to empower Black men to drive social change and advance health equity in the HIV service delivery system. Join us in co-creating a supportive and inclusive environment where Black men can thrive as leaders in a holistic approach to men’s sexual health.
