AIDS Action Cambridge Programs

Cambridge Needle Exchange   

 

 The Cambridge Needle Exchange Program (NEP) doesn’t just exchange clean needles: our mission is to encourage any positive change. The NEP offers a variety of services to injection drug users, including anonymous HIV counseling and testing, educational groups, an Overdose Prevention and Reversal Program including Narcan distribution, and direct linkages to drug treatment programs, primary health care and other support services. The NEP operates a drop-in center for members of the program where we serve coffee and small meals and provide a safe, comfortable space for people to relax.

Youth On Fire

 

Youth On Fire (YOF) is a drop-in center that provides a welcoming and non-judgmental environment for homeless and street-involved youth. YOF is open five days a week and serves young people between the ages of 14 and 24. Hot meals, shower and laundry facility available. Check out their Z.One project for GLBT homeless youth.
