Through Guerrilla Theater, these youth also reach adult HIV educators who work with youth and the media. The youth of Guerrilla Theater meet two times a week for an hour and a half; some of these youth have been a part of Guerrilla Theater for over two years. From July 1997 to June 1998 eighty six youth were a part of Guerrilla Theater! In the past three months alone 61 youth have participated in Guerrilla Theater! Their outreach performances include messages about HIV prevention, homophobia, identity, sexuality, comprehensive health issues, needle exchange, harm reduction, safer sex practices and homelessness. They draw from personal experience as well as education received through the Guerrilla Theater program, outside artists and health educators. Some of their past work includes; two HIV prevention PSAs, a documentary about Guerrilla Theater, a Tobacco Free PSA and billboard, performances at the Salem Governor’s School, World AIDS Day, Outside In’s Drop In Center, the Power of Hope Conference, Youth Progress, and the Gay and Lesbian Youth Conference. For two consecutive years (1997-1998), the youth designed and implemented an event for National Condom Day (Valentine’s Day) entitled, "Get your picture taken with Condom man and Dental Dame." They raised money for our program, built awareness around safer sex and distributed free materials, including latex, instructions for using latex properly, and pamphlets of information and resources. Also in 1997 and 1998 the youth designed, assembled, and distributed 200 plus Safer Sox for bags for New Years.
