According to the CDC, Advocates for Youth assists organizations through its Healthy Youth! Project “that serve African American and Latina females” to prevent HIV infections. Advocates for Youth is also part of the CDC’s “Promoting Science-Based Approaches to Prevent Teen Pregnancy” (PSBA).
 
For both programs, according to the CDC Web site, the group provides information, training, and marketing expertise to school, health clinics and other community-based organizations.

HHS’s Office of Minority Health told CNSNews.com that Advocates for Youth also received grant money over a three year period to work on “Empowering Young African/Black Women to Prevent HIV Infection” projects at historically black colleges and universities.
 
A grant abstract for this program provided to CNSNews.com said that Advocates for Youth worked with on-campus health clinics, developed a Young Women of Color council, and conducted media campaigns at Alabama A&M University, Benedict College and South Carolina State.

I LOVE the "scare quotes" throughout the piece - especially "young women of color" (yikes!) and "condoms" (horror!!) and "comprehensive" sex education (hide your children!).

The only thing worse than being disliked by CNS is being like by CNS - so major win, Advocates!

i know, they are basically advertising for us as they have really not critiqued anythng but copied stuff from our website
