SAYES, (Serving Area Youth through Education & Support) is an empowerment program for children infected and/or affected by HIV/AIDS.  SAYES provides various opportunities for youth through field trips, recreational activities, nurturing, tutoring and mentoring.  The AIDS Fund partners with volunteers to offer these children alternatives different than what they may have been born into; giving them the tools necessary to break the cycle of HIV and poverty. 

RAYN, (Reaching Area Youth Now is a program for gay, bisexual and questioning guys who are interested in building new friendships, having good times and fostering healthy relationships & lifestyles.  RAYN has fun social and educational events throughout the year which provide a safe space for the youth to be themselves.  Our goal is to create a stronger, more supportive community in the Hampton Roads area.
