July 4-8: C2EA Youth ACTION Institute 2007, Raleigh, NC. The third annual C2EA Youth ACTION Institute is a summer-long opportunity for young people ages 16-26 to become leaders in the effort to end AIDS.
Youth will meet at North Carolina State University, an historically Black college, to hear speakers talk about their experiences with living with HIV and AIDS in the U.S. and around the world; develop skills in grassroots organizing, public health, media, advocacy and direct action; connect with other young people from around the country; and work on concrete ways to fight together to end AIDS. After the institute, each participant will carry out a grassroots organizing project to help make progress on a high-priority AIDS issue and build participation in C2EA. After this summer, they'll help build new C2EA and youth advocacy networks all across the country. To sponsor a youth activist, contribute to C2EA YAI07. Applications are due by June 1.
