Here are the workshops offered in 2006:

HIV/AIDS 101 This interactive workshop covers definitions and information on HIV transmission, testing, affect on your immune system, and ways to reduce your risk of infection.

Safer Sex 101 This interactive workshop gives you the truth about STDs - which STDs exist, symptoms, testing, treatment options, transmission, and ways to decrease your risk of infection.

Transgender 101 This interactive workshop answers the basic questions about transgender people. Definitions on trans identity and trans related terms are discussed as well as how you can become an ally to trans friends and peers.

Substance Use And Youth This interactive workshop provides an overview of youth substance use. The harm reduction method, messages youth receive about drugs and alcohol, triggers that affect youth, and their decisions about substance use are discussed.

Homophobia And Youth Homophobia affects us all, regardless of sexual orientation. This interactive workshop demystifies terms and explores common stereotypes. Participants gain a better awareness of homophobia as well as ways of becoming an ally for the LGBTQQ community.

Youth Rights And Confidentiality Some youth fail to access healthcare due to their distrust of adults and/or concerns about their parents finding out what they're up to. This workshop arms youth with accurate facts about their rights around confidentiality and the healthcare system.

Resume Development (2 Sessions) Just because you're young doesn't mean you can't have a kick-ass resume. This hands-on workshop covers what type of resume is best for you, hints on what employers look for, and ways to avoid making common resume mistakes. This interactive workshop provides valuable feedback and support from the group.

Goal Setting (2 Sessions) Some adults complain that youth have no goals or ambitions. That's not so surprising, considering most of us have never been given the tools to plan. Some youth are afraid of success, while others have set elaborate goals, but gave up after failing to achieve them. This interactive workshop gives participants the framework to make and achieve their goals and provides valuable feedback and support from the group.
