Background
 |
Full Proof is an urban organization concerned with the lives of people often endangered by drug, alcohol, and tobacco abuse; HIV infection, malnutrition, child abuse, homelessness, too-early and too-frequent pregnancies, and inadequate primary health care. These problems are exacerbated by a lack of community knowledge and a sense of powerlessness. These problems offered a challenge and an opportunity for Full Proof.
Founded in 2004, Full Proof has been forming coalitions, designing and providing community education to individuals, organizations, and faith institutions; and seeking creative and innovative vehicles for delivery of information and services to a community in desperate need.
ince its inception, Full Proof has educated over 1000 men, women, and children about HIV/AIDS prevention, and has led or assisted in the planning and execution of multiple community events.
