1) Human Graph Workshop

2) Smart Sex Workshop

Goal: to promote youth health, awareness, responsibility and action about safe sex, healthy relationships, HIV and sexually transmitted infections.

3) Positively Negative Workshop

4) Romance High Jinx Workshop

Goal: explore scenarios relating to relationships, HIV/AIDS, making decisions about sex, and condom negotiation and use.
