Registered Dietician (Fulltime)

Who We Are: The Aliveness Project is a community center for people living with HIV. We serve around 2,000 folks annually, the majority of whom are low-income. The mission of the Aliveness Project is to link people living with HIV to resources for leading healthy, self-directed lives. Our primary objectives are to ensure that our members have access to:

• Basic needs: We provide meals, a food shelf, and medical nutrition therapy while our Case Management team helps provide access to healthcare and housing.
• Community: Our community center model provides a safe and supportive place for members to gather and build community.
• Prevention: We provide targeted outreach to communities disproportionately affected by HIV through education, awareness, and strategies for eliminating stigma.

Aliveness Project is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to building and maintaining a diverse staff that is representative of the communities we serve and live in. People of color, LGBTQ-identified individuals, and people from the local community are strongly encouraged to apply.
