Mission
Engaging Arkansas Communities is always EPIC:
- E = Empowering overlooked and underserved communities
- P = Preventing new HIV/STI exposure until there are no new transmissions
- I = Innovating comprehensive sexual health strategies
- C = Connecting with communities to provide prevention resources
To end the epidemic of HIV in Arkansas, Engaging Arkansas Communities provides HIV/STI prevention education and testing and provides innovative, educational opportunities in all aspects of the sexual health concerns of marginalized communities.
As a nonprofit 501c3 organization, Engaging Arkansas Communities increases awareness of factors which complicate the lives of those impacted by HIV, provides and links people with HIV to a variety of supportive services, and advocates for innovative strategies and resources for their physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being.
Vision
Engaging Arkansas Communities envisions a state with no new HIV infections, communities who provide prevention resources to its residents, and where those living with HIV do so with equality and the support they need.
