The Alabama Campaign for Adolescent Sexual Health runs two Youth Advisory Councils - Girls at the Center Youth Advisory Council (GACYAC) and Sexual Health for Adolescents Rooted in Equity Youth Advisory Council (SHARE YAC).
Our GACYAC is open to youth ages 14-24 located in the greater Montgomery area; our SHARE YAC is open to youth ages 14-19 from across Alabama. YACs meet monthly to learn about sexual and reproductive health (SRH) topics, including preventing STIs and HIV, unplanned pregnancy, and sexual violence. They also learn leadership and advocacy skills. YACs are an opportunity for youth to contribute directly to our work with honest feedback and suggestions.
Our 2024-2025 SHARE YAC applications are now open! This is a paid opportunity; BIPOC, LGBTQ, and rural youth are especially encouraged to apply.
