South began his non-profit career at Hartford, Connecticut’s Hill Center, a neighborhood-based social services agency that South founded and where he served as the Executive Director from 1974-1981. South moved to Atlanta in 1984 and began volunteering the Atlanta-based AIDS social service agency AID Atlanta. South quickly moved from volunteer to the Executive Director of the agency.

Upon leaving AID Atlanta, South moved to Washington, DC to support the work of the Presidnetial Commission on the HIV Epidemic.
