Sasanka Jinadasa '15 is one of ten HIV/AIDS prevention activists chosen by the Human Rights Campaign Fund for the inaugural cohort of HIV 360° Fellows.

Supported by the Elton John AIDS Foundation the HIV 360° Fellowships recognize young, nonprofit leaders working for community-based organizations that provide HIV-related services and/or engage in HIV-related advocacy. Fellows receive nine months of leadership training as well as financial support for an HIV-prevention project.

Sasanka currently works as the Capacity Building and Resource Manager at HIPS, a Washington, DC-based harm-reduction program that provides a variety of services, education and advocacy to sex workers, drug users and their communities.
