About The Position
Rafiki Coalition and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation (SFAF) have partnered to launch the Health Access Point Program, a community-based initiative rooted in an African American-centered wellness perspective. This program prioritizes self-determination, pride, self-esteem, collaboration, community involvement, and holistic wellness, while addressing the underlying social determinants of health that contribute to persistent health disparities within African American and BIPOC communities. Services are intentionally informed by the lived experiences of those impacted by poverty, unemployment, mass incarceration, lack of affordable housing, homelessness, generational trauma, systemic racism, and the failure of traditional healthcare systems to meet the needs of Black and marginalized populations. Additionally, the program seeks to dismantle stigma surrounding HIV status, gender and sexual identity, and substance use-especially as these issues intersect with race and socio-economic inequities. The Clinical Assistant Intern will participate in a robust sexual health clinical training program through the San Francisco AIDS Foundation Health Equity Training Academy. Interns will gain hands-on experience by working alongside holistic health practitioners, sexual health clinicians, benefits navigators, and community programs staff-experts in HIV prevention, treatment, and community-based advocacy. This internship offers a unique opportunity for individuals to contribute to health equity efforts, engage directly with impacted communities, and develop real-world skills in sexual and public health service delivery. Interns will be part of a transformative and supportive learning environment that empowers them to make a meaningful impact in community health.
