YEAH’s main focus has been to produce resources for young people in schools and other community youth networks to ensure they have access to information about HIV/AIDS and related issues.

2007 will see YEAH launch the first National student leadership initiative around HIV for students across Australian schools. This like many of the advocacy and outreach projects conducted though YEAH is about having open dialogue with young people and listening to their needs ad concern and empowering them to find innovate ways to respond to them.

Many of YEAH’s volunteers are young people from across the community and it is young people that we encourage to sign up as volunteers and ambassadors to take the YEAH message out to their own communities.
