Adolescents Cultivating & Learning About Safer Societies (A-CLASS)

Adolescents Cultivating & Learning About Safer Societies (A-CLASS) A-CLASS (Adolescents Cultivating and Learning About Safe Societies) is a s*xual health program at The Child Center of NY.

We work with young people, ages 13 to 24, to address issues like HIV/AIDS, s*xually transmitted diseases (STDs), and unwanted pregnancies in the community, particularly in neighborhoods in Queens, New York. The program trains and supports young people, who, in partnership with adults, work to create fun and easy ways to learn about healthy s*xual practices and healthcare services for young people.

Currently, we have trained a group of seven high school/college-aged peer educators who provide workshops and do presentations around the Borough of Queens. Though there is a heavy focus on s*xual health, the peer leaders also address issues such as substance abuse, relationship violence, gangs, and other issues that youth may face in their neighborhoods and how those issues impact s*xual health choices. The peer leaders often incorporate artistic pieces into their presentations, including skits, poems, and films. Additionally, we connect youth to service learning opportunities and resources, as well as organize events to link youth to their communities.

An estimated 20 percent of children show signs or symptoms of a mental health problem. It's a destructive force in schools, but most educators don't have the training or resources to help.

One's greatness is determined by action in times of failure, not success. When placed in the eye of the unforgiving public, you must accept the reality that your image belongs to the people. Right or Wrong, this is the reality that comes with success, and all its accessories (ie: fortune, fame, etc.)

Hold your head high Cam, and to everyone else reading this who is currently facing a challenging time in their lives. Stay strong, stay humble, and stay hopeful. Faith is a powerful force. Make it through your obstacles, and look back with a sense of PRIDE and ACHIEVEMENT.

I’m here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don’t follow what you’ve been told you’re supposed to do. - J Cole

In this day and time, One might find it hard to speak their mind
When countless people keep counting out your grind,
Just Keep your head up, and in time I’m sure you’ll find
People in the dark don’t want to see you shine
Simply because you possess the light they couldn’t find. - XIV

Don't give up. Chase your dreams.
