NNED Partner of the Month

In order to highlight pockets of excellence across the country the NNED selects an organization to highlight once a month. ACCEPT has been selected as the NNED Partner of the Month for February 2012 in observance of Black HIV/ AIDS Awareness Day (February 7).

African-American Community Cultural Education Programs & Trainings (ACCEPT) was Founded in 1995 by Pastor Glenn E. Taylor Sr. as an outreach of Greater Light Christian Center. ACCEPT provided HIV prevention services to the African American community under the auspices of Greater Light Christian Center, a church where the majority of attendees are African American, until 1999. ACCEPT became a non-profit in 1999 and continues to provide HIV specific prevention services to date, as well as substance abuse prevention, support and care services for individuals living with HIV or AIDS, and much more. Although founded to reach the African American population, ACCEPT provides services to the underserved populations in Northern Nevada.

ACCEPT's mission is to empower underserved individuals and families by providing public health services and resources through community partnerships serving a multicultural population with emphasis on the African American community.
