Are you on a college campus that makes free condom distribution as difficult as humanly possible, or doesn't exist at all? Do you have to get the condom by filling out paperwork at a health center? Does your school require that the condom comes with abstinence-only literature? Are your friends and fellow students engaging in unsafe sex simply due to the lack of availability of condoms?

Well, Advocates for Youth is thrilled to announce that the Spring 2009 applications for the Great American Condom Campaign are now open!

This is how the GACC works: We are looking to distribute 1,000,000 free condoms to campuses across the country, which will be distributed at designated "SafeSites". If you are interested in creating a SafeSite on your campus, fill out the application form on the GACC page.

Last Fall, we distributed a box of 500 Trojan condoms to 550 SafeSites around the country. This Spring, we're looking to distribute even more, and hopefully have them delivered by Valentine's Day.

SafeSite applications for Spring Semester 2009 are currently being accepted on a rolling basis through January 11th, 2009. Keep in mind that the sooner you apply, if selected as a SafeSite, the more likely we will be able to get condoms to you by Valentine’s Day. In previous years, the GACC has received more SafeSite applications than the number of condoms available for the campaign. As such, priority will be given to applications received from students attending colleges/universities at which condom availability is limited. We will also take into account the number of applications received from each school and the individual applicant’s distribution plan. So please be creative when you write about how you want to distribute your condoms, who you want to work with, and if you have any activities planned!
