• Only in our second semester of existence, we offer the opportunity for you to take as much responsibility as your personal initiative and schedule allow. In other words, if you want to lead a new campaign, chances are that you can.
• We're just forging brand new relationships with some of the most prominent experts in fighting AIDS worldwide.  You can be a part of a team that works closely with these important women and men.

• "Every minute, five more people die of AIDS. Think about it. I certainly have and that is what made me join YAW." - Sonia Weymuller, Head of Publicity 
• "Coming into close contact with AIDS victims who are trying to live normal, everyday lives has added another dimension to my intellectual interest in fighting the disease and, more than anything, has made the need for effective treatment and a cure so painstakingly clear to me." - Becca Krauss, Treasurer

• "I have felt very grateful to have found YAW; the members really implement great leadership and have tons of ideas. I had joined other groups only to become frustrated by meetings spent discussing transportation and meal options for long-term projects. I was frustrated by the lack of real action. But YAW has many ways to stay involved." - Stephanie Lee, Director of Local Campaigns 
• "I am committed to making sure that we are doing all that is possible in order to guarantee easy access to affordable treatment for those afflicted by AIDS. YAW-sponsored Charity Balls, presentations, and Walk-A-Thons are only a few of the events I wish to see happening on campus this year." - Sonia Weymuller, Head of Publicity

• "AIDS is no longer the guaranteed death sentence that it was twenty years ago. It's chronic, but treatable." - Anthony Xu, Webmaster 

• "YAW is committed to raising awareness and encouraging student political activism." - Sonia Weymuller, Head of Publicity 
• "It's important that college students become more aware of the true nature of AIDS and what is being done about this epidemic worldwide. YAW is the perfect approach to doing this." - Anthony Xu, Webmaster 

• "I came to Israel this summer to volunteer for Magen David Adom, an ambulance service provider. To date, I've seen two HIV positive patients. The first was a twelve year old girl whose babysitter called us when the girl fell off a bike. I was annoyed at first, since all she needed was some bandages and a little cheering up. However, on the way to the hospital, the girl told me, 'You have to understand, she doesn't want to touch me because of the HIV.' I was taken aback-she seemed completely healthy and told me about her condition with such composure. I almost cried. My second AIDS patient was a prostitute who had been totally devastated by the disease. She was bitter and angry with the people who were somewhat futilely trying to help her. The tragic situations of these people really brought home the reality of living with AIDS." - Becca Krauss, Treasurer 
• "One in every five people with HIV is a prison inmate or a former inmate. But these numbers shadow the fathers and mothers and siblings and children that suffer due to insufficient HIV treatment in prisons. "You are condemned and are going to die anyway; we are not going to treat you." D-535446 received this reply from one doctor at the Pelican Bay Correctional Facility. At a hospital, he would be Richard B. Stewart, HIV patient. At Pelican Bay, he is simply D- 535446. And numbers don't deserve an adequate life chance. It is the job of YAW and other concerned people to help regain the humanity of people suffering from AIDS in prisons and elsewhere, worldwide." - Robert James, Managing Director
