Lessons Learned 1. Make being engaged in tough issues like HIV/AIDS, stigma reduction, sexual health fun.
2. Make college (and middle school!) students understand that they can have a unique impact on an important issue.
3. Understand what makes your volunteers tick.
– Athletes = competition, challenge, hard work rewarded
– Kids = nontraditional sex ed, fun, trusting relationships

Challenges
• As a program run completely by young people under the age of 25,we have learned that partnerships and capacity building support have been essential in scaling up our interventions.
