In 1992, a group of dedicated and concerned citizens in Kelowna joined together to form the Living Positive Resource Centre, Okanagan.

LPRC provides support services to persons living with HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis C, and other blood borne pathogens.  Together we advocate for public awareness of blood borne pathogens and support our community by providing education about risk reduction by making informed, healthy decisions.

We, at LPRC, respond to the demand for services with the assistance of our gracious volunteers.  We offer general and specialized training throughout the year for all volunteer positions.

If you are interested in supporting your community by providing your time, services, specialized skills, and your passion, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Heather Picotte, to learn how you can make a difference!

Please see our volunteer package.
