Is Casa Segura Right For You?
If you've been affected by the HIV epidemic—maybe you, a family member or friend are HIV positive, or you've lost a loved one to AIDS—or if you're a recovering injection drug user and want to help others on the way to recovery, you'll find satisfaction in volunteering at Casa Segura.
If your conscience prompts you to social and political action in your community, and you have a genuine desire to help people who are victims of an array of social stigmas including drug use, homelessness and mental illness, you will find fulfillment in volunteering at Casa Segura.
