A variety of scholarship opportunities are available for volunteers willing to participate in the 2010 Street Outreach Workers Conference. Applicants may choose among a variety of opportunities. These include:
Roundtable Leader:We will be hosting a series of roundtable
discussions at the conference again this year. One set of roundtables will
address street outreach best practices; this year we are also encouraging
roundtable discussions for various regions in Texas and other participating
areas. At this forum, participants will engage in peer-to-peer dialogue, share
information and best practices, and explore a variety of outreach strategies
targeting different populations. They will also discuss local challenges and
solutions related to outreach. You are encouraged to volunteer and apply for a
scholarship to lead a roundtable discussion about an outreach-related topic of
your choosing and/or lead a roundtable for your region.
Poster Presenter:During the roundtables, we will also be displaying
poster presentations highlighting success stories from different Outreach
Programs and/or Evidence Based outreach strategies. Conference participants are
encouraged to volunteer and apply for a scholarship if they would like to
create a poster presentation for this event.
Workshop Monitor:The staff of the Texas HIV Connection needs
assistance with duties such as monitoring workshop sessions and overseeing the
continuing education process. Workshop monitors may also be asked to assist
with events such as the evening party or the hospitality suite.
