Brooklyn Lives Project 2006

The Brooklyn Lives Project began in February 2006 in which our education and media campaign resulted in 12 HIV/AIDS prevention presentations at Brooklyn high schools and a media education campaign that extended to every major TV, radio, and print market in New York City. 87 people were tested for HIV including 32 people under the age of 17.

We also held an Empowerment Breakfast at Brooklyn Borough Hall and a Concert at the Klitgord Auditorium of New York City College of Technology.

2007 Highlights
 

Brooklyn Lives Project 2007

In 2007 we conducted 18 presentations at Brooklyn High Schools and partnered with local organizations such as Crown Heights Live, an after-school media training program that composed, filmed, edited and screened their own HIV/AIDS public service announcements and Project Reach Youth and El Puente who participated in both the peer education presentations and created edu-tainment performances geared towards a young audience for our After Event. Close to 100 people, many still under the age of 18, were tested for HIV.
