Youth Outreach, AIDS Committee of Durham Region

The Youth Outreach program is a dynamic, multi-faceted initiative that is two-tiered in scope. We provide free prevention intervention workshops to educate youth who are at risk of contracting HIV. Focusing on increasing positive sexual health behaviour by emphasizing condom use, communication and consent, the workshops aim to teach youth how to better navigate sexual relationships and drug use activities from a harm reduction perspective. We connect youth to local agencies to assist them with their sexual, mental, emotional and physical needs.
