We are looking for people who want to get involved and bring their expertise to help strengthen CATF outreach.


TALK WITH YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT HIV AND HIV TESTING – EARN FREE STUFF!
Sign you and a group of your friends, or your GLBT organizations, for the T.E.S.T. Project (Teaching Effective Strategies for Testing). The free training is open to any GLBT individuals and allies interested in learning how to communicate with friends about getting tested for HIV and what HIV testing services are available in Columbus.

CATF is offering the T.E.S.T. Project training through 2009 to any interested GLBT groups/organizations or members of the GLBT community. The training is comprised of two 60 minute sessions, can be presented at any group/organization’s normal meeting space, and requires no minimum or maximum number of participants. Incentives, donated from local businesses, will be offered for those individuals who fully complete the training. Interested individuals may contact Shaun Whybark at [email protected] or (614) 340-6738.
