Sex Education
Youth Advisory Councils
The Alabama Campaign for Adolescent Sexual Health runs two Youth Advisory Councils - Girls at the Center Youth Advisory Council (GACYAC) and 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.
Girls at the Center Final Projects
CONFIDANT is a website created by our 2022/2023 GACYAC as their final group project.
The young people in this cohort wanted a website created BY Alabama young people, FOR Alabama young people. CONFIDANT has resources related to relationships, safety, LGBTQ+ issues, and more, including hotlines and warm lines for young people in crisis.
