Project SAFE

Project SAFE is a sexual health and youth empowerment program based in Brooklyn, NY. The program aims to prevent unintended pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS through evidence-based interventions within a youth development framework, building upon the existing strengths of young people. Youth between the ages of 10 and 24 are trained to provide life-saving information to their peers through workshops, performances, and community outreach. The program provides youth ages 10 to 24 with support to avoid risky behaviors, develop to their full potential, and become agents of change in their communities. The program model includes evidence-based sexual health workshops, peer-led health education groups and community events, and sexual health services designed to meet the unique needs of adolescents.
