History:
AIDGwinnett, a not for profit organization, was founded in 1990 in Gwinnett County by a grass roots group of concerned volunteers and parents dealing with family members and friends infected with HIV. They were driven to provide supportive services and prevention education. During 1993, as the caseload continued to grow, the agency expanded its services to include Rockdale and Newton Counties. To date, AGI has assisted over 1,200 clients and their families.

Overall Experience 
Satisfying, rewarding and fun

I have volunteered with AID GWINNETT for almost a year. The entire staff makes sure the volunteers are continually thanked for their time and efforts as well as supporting you every way possible. It is a great environment and opportunity to give back to the community and I am extremely proud of the services AID GWINNETT provides for individuals as well as the community. Their TOGA program provides needed education series for various high schools and churches, giving vital information and opportunities for young people to become more aware of the risk HIV poses in their day to day lives. It is a pleasure to work for a group of people who treat both their clients and volunteers with respect and a warm welcome daily.
