So how do you connect with teens in today's

internet savvy world? 

By using the tools kids know best!

 

www.SpotU.org

 

Talk is cheap! Especially on the internet.

We're making it happen, today!

It's in our mission to be innovative and use existing infrastructure to create positive results.  So while everyone is talking about impacting youth, finding ways to connect with kids on HIV/AIDS topics, designing their programs and quantifying their objectives.  Frankly, we're tired of the talk.

Don't you wish everyone would just do stop talking about doing it and just make it happen?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Real kids talking about real issues!

Karen, Sara, Brandon & Danielle

 

They pick peer level topics, do their research and talk about it "live" on the air over the internet in a two-way conversation with you, the viewing blogger. 

Using technology! Now how cool is that?

No sugar coating, no bull and all from their perspective.

Because, if we're going to stop new

HIV infections among those ages,

15 to 24, you've got to use the tools they know how to use and get!

 

See the first international youth live

blog tv show.  And yes, we did it again!

How are we responding to youth HIV infections?

We are using the tools today's youth understand very well...social networks and social applications

though their iphones, ipods, computers and blackberry

Four teenagers have real world discussions about youth, love, relationships, dating, sex, HIV & AIDS and all the issues facing them at their age. Tune in weekly and signup for email/phone alerts or through your twitter, youtube, facebook, furl, myspace and a host of other accounts.  See how today's kids are responding to HIV.

Project: Red Paint 2009

Project: Red Paint is our HIV Awareness through Art program introduced in 2007 with the Long Beach Unified School District, California State University - Long Beach and the University by the Sea program.  It is designed with a single purpose -- to create dialogue about HIV through art.

Students are encouraged to use any medium they feel comfortable using and incorporate a "Red AIDS Ribbon" in the artwork. Kids are very resourceful.  Here's what some kids told a reporter for the Press Telegram: "People tis tis is a disease that affects only certain people, but it affects everyone," said Devyn Amescua.  "It's good to know how we can keep others aware," said Carolina Vallejo. "They don't really talk about this at school."

Project: Red Paint finalists were selected at the University by the Sea event held on October 5, 2008.  Over 2000 people viewed 66 entries from students and the public.  An Art Jury and the public to help judge the 15 finalist for the final round at World AIDS Day. Three winners were selected by the public on World AIDS Day, a day that included art, education, entertainment and activities.  Over 525 people attended the 2-part event.
