Welcome to Sisters Saving Sisters

Sisters Saving Sisters aims to address the higher risk of HIV/STDs in African American and Hispanic female adolescent populations. The program is designed to reduce frequency of unprotected sexual intercourse, number of sexual partners, and the incidence of sexually transmitted infections. Sisters Saving Sisters is a skill-based risk-reduction intervention administered in small groups of female adolescents and led by trained facilitators in a community-based setting.

Our goal is to teach young girls, ages 12-18, about Teen Pregnancy Prevention, HIV and other STDs. We aim to empower young women to change their behavior in ways that will reduce their risk of becoming infected with HIV, other STDs and unintended pregnancies.
