Youth NET is designed to empower youth aged 13 to 18 with the information and skills to reduce their risks for substance abuse and HIV infection.  Its goal is to reduce, through the provision of HIV Counseling and Testing, street outreach, educational workshops, the risk of substance abuse and HIV infection among youth between the ages of 13-18.  The project also implements the Becoming A Responsible Teen (BART) curriculum, an 8 session group level intervention that covers topics such as introduction to HIV/AIDS, risk reduction behaviors, decision making skills and community resources and how to access them.  All the workshop sessions are interactive and contain activities designed to keep the youth engaged in the educational and skills building process. The Youth NET project is staffed by a Youth Specialist and a part-time peer educator. This program is funded by the Department of Children and Families (DCF).
