2023 CommuniTEA Cohort Applications

Applications are due January 29, 2023 at 11:59pm EST

What is CommuniTEA: Engaging Young Black Women Voices in Ending the HIV Epidemic?

Black women and girls are often left out of narratives and initiatives when it comes to HIV prevention, destigmatization, and decriminalization and we are working to change that.

Advocates for Youth is excited to be launching CommuniTEA, a project to engage Black youth voices in ending the HIV & AIDS epidemic. We are looking for 10 activists to train and support in 2023, to train about HIV and community engagement, and become part of a network of young Black activists in the reproductive justice movement. While no experience with STI prevention is required, we are looking for anyone who is interested in community leadership and amplifying their voices in HIV prevention and advocacy efforts. Both trans and cis women and girls are encouraged to apply. If selected you will receive a stipend for your work that will be split into two payments.

Eligibility Requirements:
- Must be between the ages of 14-24 years by the application deadline
- Must be based in the United States of America
- Must identify as a Black/African American Girl/Woman

Please answer all questions on the application. All questions marked with an asterisk (*) are required. If you have any questions please email Char'Lee King at charleemarie.king@advocatesforyouth.org.
