Attention Youth: Apply Now for Action Out Loud 2009!
Action Out Loud! is a weeklong, daytime youth advocacy training camp in downtown Chicago designed for youth ages 14-20. Participants receive in-depth trainings in sexual and reproductive health, young parent, and social justice issues. In addition, they participate in skill-building workshops on organizing, message development, public speaking, youth-adult partnerships, power dynamics, media relations, and more. With help from experienced adults and youth leaders, participants use what they’ve learned to develop their own plans for action.
Action Out Loud! will be held August 3-7, 2009 at an accessible location in the Chicago Loop. The training is free to all participants, who will be eligible for service-learning hours. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, materials, and CTA cards, if needed, will be provided. Deadline for applications has been extended to July 10. Spaces are limited -- apply today! If you need more information, please contact Sunyata Altenor.
Join Our AIDS Run & Walk Team
ICAH is participating, for the third year in a row, in the annual AIDS Run & Walk hosted by the AIDS Foundation of Chicago on October 3, 2009 in Grant Park.
ICAH will receive 100% of all pledges and donations to our team! Last year, we raised over $2,500. This year, we need your help to meet our goal of $5,000, all of which will go directly toward supporting our youth activists! The money raised will allow us to provide stipends to youth leaders for their invaluable time and work with us.
Team members can walk or run the 5K route. Runners start at 9:55 am and walkers at 10 am. To join our team, register here. If you are not available to walk or run, please consider making an online donation. For more information, please contact Rebecca Lutz.
