Safe Project

 

Some choices can Cost you everything

This age group is also at twice the risk of older adults

The Safe Project - HIV prevention program for youth because 1/2 of all new infections occur in people under 25.
“The students felt that hearing you was one of the most important things they have done while they have been at Columbine.  I just wanted you to know how powerful I think your message is and how much I think that it affects people of all ages.  You have the rare ability to reach so many different types of people and give them the facts that are so important, while at the same time giving them hope.”  -Teacher
