Tina with SAFE Director Jason Hargrove at a 2006 Rally

Participant Spotlight

My name is Tina, during my 3 years I have been in Project Reach Youth I have outreached to teens throughout the NYC area.  As a young woman I realize how important it is to get the information into the hands of the ladies especially since we are the ones getting infected faster than anyone else right now.  Every year we meet more and more young people who are still not getting the message, still not getting the facts, still living with information from their friends.  And I'm always surprised at some of the responses I get from the people.  I spend most of my time shutting down myths.  I'm trying to get the right information out there.  But who is reaching that teen that I missed?  We have to make sure that no one slips between the cracks.
