acaataskforce: Alameda County African American Task Force on AIDS

The Brother's Project is an HIV and Substance Abuse prevention peer education training program. The Brother's Project is designed to thoroughly educate participants about prevention. Additionally, participants are trained to educate their friends, family, and peers in their community.

Participants are given Visa gift cards as compensation for their time. Each adult participant can receive $300 in Visa gift cards as compensation for his full participation. Each teenage participant can receive $200 in Visa gift cards for their participation.

The other component to the Brother's Project is to assist our participants seeking employment with job search and employment readiness skills training.

For the adults the training is a total of 48 hours, meeting one day a week for eight weeks. The teenagers training is a total of 32 hours over a two week period, meeting four days each week.

The Brother's Project trainings for Alameda County are held at the Perinatal Council's Oakland office. The Contra Costa County trainings are held in Richmond .
