Expectations
back to basics… the 4 things every HIV/AIDS organization should do
The Concept
“Back to Basics” refers to four things that every HIV prevention community-based organization should implement no matter their region or target population. HIV 101 (and TOT) Referral System Establish Partnerships Peer volunteer recruitment/training
Only after implementing the basics should the CBO branch off into other areas of enhancement: DEBIs Social Networking Web/Technology 2.0 Community Planning & Building Coalitions
Basics #1: HIV 101 & TOT Develop an HIV 101 that speaks to the target population you are trying to reach Train all staff and volunteers to be trainers Promote the HIV 101 as a core service ---- Beyond Basics Create an HIV 101 webinar Place HIV 101 on your website/social marketing sites Create HIV 201 and 301 using your existing model
Basics #2: Referral System Create a referral system using a “buffet” model Have members of your target population “secret shop” your referrals Create referral card or list ---- Beyond Basics Partner with referral agencies around common areas of interest Train all staff and volunteers on community referrals
Basics #3: Establish Partnerships Support organizations with like-minded missions by your attendance and contributions Co-sponsor events and programs Share information, training & “industry” knowledge ---- Beyond Basics Apply for funding jointly Merge organizations when necessary for survival or to avoid duplication of services
Basics #4: Peer Volunteer Recruitment and Training Recruit and train volunteers who are peers of the target population you are trying to reach Assign volunteers key roles and responsibilities Seek input from volunteers for program development and implementation ---- Beyond Basics Hire volunteers for staff when appropriate Allow volunteers to be spokespersons for your organization within the community Volunteer Appreciation Banquet!
