SHAPE: Becoming a SHAPE Educator

Become an Educator to teach college students, youth and other young adults about healthy Sexual Decision Making and HIV Infection

 

What’s needed?

Good communication skills, responsibility, an open mind, flexibility, a team attitude, an interest in educating others, some knowledge in the area of sexual health and a desire to learn more.

 

Peer Educators are expected to attend the initial Fall training, supplemental Spring training, and roundtable discussions. Educators plan and lead workshops and other outreach events (World AIDS Day, National HIV Testing Day, Sexual Responsibility Week, etc) as their schedule permits, but with a willingness to contribute an average of 2-4 hours per week. SHAPE Educators may also complete additional training to offer HIV OraQuick Testing & Counseling.

Beginning in the Fall 2008, SHAPE in conjunction with the School of Education, will offer a two credit course for all interested Peer Educators.
