Youth are leading the fight against HIV/STDs and teen pregnancies with Spring into Love. Spring into Love is a youth-led health conference that aims to empower young people ages 14-20 to make positive choices regarding their sexual and reproductive health. Championed by the office of former District 2 Supervisor Mark-Ridley Thomas and the Department of Public Health, Division of HIV & STD Programs, Spring into Love went virtual and moved to the fall because of the pandemic in 2020.
How did the delay and online format work in 2020? Read all about it here: Success Story: Bringing Youth Together Remotely
