Volunteers are the key.

Our volunteers are truly the key to Project Transitions. Since our inception, in 1988, we have relied on the efforts of community volunteers. From volunteer caregivers at Doug’s House to staffing all our fundraisers, supper clubs and movie nights at Roosevelt Gardens to picking up donations for Top Drawer, the good works of volunteers allow us to provide our clients and residents with the highest level of care and support.

CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS!

Our housing program Roosevelt Gardens is looking for volunteers to work with our residents in these areas:

*Teaching computer skills classes.

*Teaching workout classes: yoga, walking club, aerobics.

*Teaching nutrition classes: health and culinary workshops.

*Teaching coping skills classes and creating peer support groups.

*Facilitating creative writing circles.

*Facilitating a book club for adult residents.

*Assisting with board game nights.

*Supper Club(group volunteer opportunity)

*Baking cakes for special events and/or residents.

If you have other skills or interests you would like to share with our residents that would encourage a stronger community or nurturing environment. Please contact Elaine Holton, Volunteer Coordinator at eholton@projecttransitions.org.

Bike Curious is in training mode for the Hill Country Ride for AIDS!

Project Transitions’ Hill Country Ride for AIDS bike team (now also open to runners) is back on the road! Last year “Bike Curious” raised over $5,000 for the Ride and this year we hope to double that. We invite you to join us in this truly rewarding and fun experience. The funds raised are distributed among ten different HIV/AIDS related organizations to help provide much needed services to people living with HIV/AIDS. Project Transitions is proud to be one of the beneficiaries of this ride. This year, the Hill Country Ride has added a running component offering a 5k, 10k, 1/2 marathon and a duathalon, in case biking isn’t your thing. This event is not a race and is open to people of all ages and abilities.

Participation in the Hill Country Ride will impact the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS in a greatly profound way. For this reason alone, participation is totally worth the effort. But, as an added bonus, there are also personal benefits to participating in the event! These include, but are not limited to: The confidence that comes with setting a goal and achieving said goal; the praise that your doctor will bestow upon you for participating in a healthy and active life style; The compliments that are sure to come with the impending loss of weight and new muscle tone; and the camaraderie associated with being an active member of your community.

Help Project Transitions make this the best Hill Country Ride for AIDS yet!
