The YAM are always keeping busy.

One past event was a condom contest. It was a fun way of introducing young persons to contraception and proper use.This was during a Peer Educators Camp in which they hosted for students of the different secondary schools. This years peer educators camp was a success. It was held at the Delices Youth Centre where Yam members helped in the facilitation.

Ms. Melissa Mitchel attended a workshop in Antigua to review the Fighting Aids through Training and Education (Fate) program.

Ms Sandra Christopher underwent a training in Trinidad on Behavioural Change  Communication as it relates to Aids and other STI's and other sexual and reproductive health issues such as commercial sex workers. She in collaboration with a staff member of the Association is now implementing a programme around the island.

During the latter part of the summer (2005) members participated in their summer workshop. This was held at the Grandbay Secondary School, and was facilitated by the Anguillan Psychologyst, DR. Oluwakemi Banks. Members were trained in Counselling... And they had a wonderful time!!

Members have also participated in a project to improve the youth friendliness of the association. This project includes the repainting of the YAM office and the addition of many new items of equipment to the office. These are inclusive of couches, a televison, VCR, computers, etc.
