Project AIM is geared toward middle school youth (ages 11-14) and seeks to help youth form their "adult identity" by helping them articulate their future goals and think about how risky behavior choices may jeopardize their path toward achieving those goals. 2. Be Proud! Be Responsible! is intended for youth between the ages of 13-18 and provides them with the knowledge, motivation, and skills necessary to change their behaviors in a way that will reduce their risk of pregnancy or contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted disease. 3. Making Proud Choices! Provides teens the information, skills, and confidence to reduce their risk of HIV and unintended pregnancy. Youth will be empowered to change their behaviors and lower their risk by practicing abstinence or reducing their sexual risk. The Community Health Awareness Team (CHAT) empowers local youth with the knowledge, skills, and resources to make informed, responsible choices about their health and future. CHAT provides evidence-based programs that reduce the risk of teen pregnancy through comprehensive, age-appropriate education focused on decision-making, communication, and consent. This holistic, inclusive approach helps youth develop the cognitive and social skills necessary to build healthy relationships and make informed life choices.
