ESCALATE & ELEVATE: Continuing the Mission
As the ESCALATE and ELEVATE programs reach the end of their funding cycle, we want to take a moment to celebrate their impact. Over the years, these initiatives have empowered people living with HIV and built capacity within organizations to enhance HIV care and services. Although the official funding period has concluded, the need for this crucial work continues.
Keep the Momentum Going!

The purpose of the ELEVATE program is to build the capacity of Persons With HIV (PWH) to be meaningfully involved in the planning, delivering, and improving of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) services.
ELEVATE will address needs in workforce recruitment, development, and advancement for PWH in populations 50+, Young Black Men, transgender/gender non-conforming (T/GNC), Latinx, and the recovery community. ELEVATE will bring forth an increased initiative in these communities hit hard by HIV so that self-awareness and self-advocacy will grow, while supporting the four goals of the HIV National Strategic Plan.
ELEVATE will have three components to best meet the needs of the targeted community members most at risk from the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program community and participants within the 57 EHE in the U.S jurisdictions: Leadership Training, Coaching for PWH, and Web-based resources. This work will be accomplished through interrelated activities across the five partnering organizations.
