Acting on AIDS

Acting on AIDS

Acting on AIDS is a movement started by Christian college students at Seattle Pacific University to raise awareness and promote activism around the global AIDS pandemic at colleges and universities across the nation. It soon gained the support of World Vision, and now Christian college students across the nation have formed a network of Acting on AIDS chapters which seek to change the view of students on campuses, create awareness in communities, and advocate for those impacted by the global AIDS pandemic.

Since its inception in August 2004, Acting on AIDS has grown to approximately 100campus chapters around the United States.
