This was a new initiative that took place on December 1 and 2, 2006, the 25th Anniversary of the discovery of AIDS (1981). We at TeenAIDS broke major ground by being the first youth-oriented organization to webcast AIDS events worldwide (webcasts are like TV broadcasts but you watch it and interact over a computer):
1) Two days of youth-sponsored AIDS Awareness events in 70 countries and across the USA. These include classroom discussions, surveys, information tables at school or in a mall, walk-a-thons, bike-a-thons, rallies, street outreach, public performances of “Stop Action” theater, art exhibits and teach-ins. Reports from "the field" were publicized during the webcasts so teens could share their volunteer efforts with the world.
2) A major PeerCorps Training Day with high school students were invited to learn TeenAIDS' techniques on how to effectively teach their friends and peers about HIV/AIDS prevention. Students at the training heard from HIV-positive teens, took part in workshops, and interacted with teens around the globe.
3) A fundraiser for donors to pledge money for the individual events were planned by teens (e.g., so much $ for each mile walked or money for tee-shirts identifying the volunteers). There was an auction and raffle to sell large items and raise money. Half of the money raised for each group goes to youth outreach in their home areas and half goes to pay for our ambitious schedule of regular monthly webcast trainings.
