SPOT U

A peer to peer based program:

Our peer-to-peer program incorporates webcasting, blogs,  along with social network integration.  That's a mouthful but what does that mean?

The facts are that technology is moving at the speed of light today and non-profits traditionally have a difficult time catching up to using today's youth-embraced technologies to communicate, interact and create activism.  It requires "outside-the-box" thinking to fully engage youth and adolescents.  Outreach has to be more than the "build it and they will come" approach. 

The Foundation was one of the first organizations in the nation to use the majority of social networks, blogs, webcast, video networks and multi-method delivery systems to reach youth and adolescents.  Our participants now come from all over the world.  Not bad for a small non-profit trying to make an impact on HIV among youth and adolescents.

Now we're expanding our Spot U program even more with the peer-to-peer, multi-method delivery program.

The first webcast started in February 2009 with the weekly web broadcast of the "Tenacity of Teens" webcast on Sundays at 2pm.

Now our newest webcasters broadcast onj Thursdays at 3pm.  Now we're casting an all new cast and adding more peer-based programming. Thousands of kids around the world watch these shows.  We're making difference one person at a time.
