OUR
MISSION

Being Alive is a peer-driven agency for people living with HIV/AIDS specializing in supportive services, education, wellness and self-empowerment.

Yes, California's economic crisis affects Being Alive funding. Help Being Alive to continue to support you. This summer, Being Alive is conducting a member pledge drive. You may get a call from one of your fellow members as a reminder. While we are taking every necessary step to make sure we are here for many years to come, we feel it is necessary to appeal to you, our membership for assistance. For those of you who have supported us in the past, please consider making a donation to Being Alive today. For those who have used our services and have not donated, now is the time.
