Volunteer at PATF

In 1985, a group of dedicated volunteers founded the Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force (PATF).  Today, we need the help of generous volunteers more than ever.  As infection rates continue to rise, PATF is working to meet the growing needs of people living with HIV/AIDS and those at risk of infection. 

Join our dedicated volunteers who are fighting in the war against HIV/AIDS.
