Hey John,

Okay, you caught us—our last email said CommuniTEA applications were for 2023, but that was like so two years ago! We actually meant 2025. The good news? You’ve got plenty of time to apply before the deadline on December 15th, 2024.

CommuniTEA is an amazing opportunity for Black women and girls (cis and trans) ages 14-24. Apply by December 15th! Black women and girls are often left out of narratives and initiatives when it comes to HIV prevention, destigmatization, and decriminalization. But we are working to change that.

That's why Advocates for Youth is excited to be launching CommuniTEA, a project to engage Black women & girls in ending the HIV & AIDS epidemic. This group of young leaders will work to reframe HIV prevention and care narratives for Black women, reduce stigma and isolation for cis and trans women of color, and connect women to essential support.

We are looking for 10 activists to train and support in 2025. We will train 10 young Black women and girls (trans or cis) about HIV and community engagement, and they will become part of a network of young activists in the reproductive justice movement.

Apply by December 15th!

Check out this video & hear from our cohort members on what CommuniTEA means to them!

🔍 Not qualified yourself? Or do you know a Black woman or girl ages 14-24 who would be good for this? Forward this email, or text them this link to the application.

Questions? Just hit reply!

Thanks for letting us focus on community-building instead of calendar math. 😅

We can’t wait to welcome this next amazing group of activists!

In solidarity,

Dr. Daniella Thorne
