Policy / Advocacy / National

Since agencies founding in 1994 as AIDS Policy Center for Children, Youth & Families, it has been the leading advocate for children, youth, and families affected by HIV/AIDS. During the past several years, it has expanded its mission to include not only policy analysis and advocacy, but also education and training for consumers and providers. For this reason, it changed its name to AIDS Alliance for Children, Youth & Families in early 2000.

AIDS Alliance's membership includes over 500 community-based organizations that provide HIV prevention, care and research services in 30 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Its members also include HIV-affected youth, women, and other family members throughout the nation. Many of these organizations and individuals provide or receive services funded by Title IV of the Ryan White CARE Act. Title IV funds comprehensive HIV/AIDS care services for children, youth, women and families.
