OUTREACH
VAVP is committed to showing up in community in as many ways as we can. We’re available for tabling opportunities during festivals and events any time of the year. We have tons of resources that can be tailored to fit the event, from stickers and buttons, to internal/external condoms and lubricant. Fill out this form if you’d like to request us at your next event!
STORYTELLING
VAVP is in the process of creating our Storytelling Podcast Project. We’re looking for individuals to volunteer to participate in the project and discuss how VAVP has affected them or how intersectional issues have impacted their lives. The goal of the project is to spread awareness both about VAVP and about the challenges faced by marginalized groups.
