S-club is an educational/social group in Sacramento. We ask community leaders to host workshops in their homes. These gatherings give the men a time to ask questions about HIV/STDs and topics of community import as well as encourage each other to stay safe while setting goals for themselves.
Breaking Barriers has been a leader in the Sacramento area at providing prevention services and a voice for prevention for African American women. This is being accomplished through dedicated staff and volunteers who generously give their time to spread the word about HIV and AIDS prevention to local communities and churches.
In 2007, Breaking Barriers was awarded additional funding from the Sacramento County Office of CD/HIV prevention for this program which allowed us to develop a more fully realized prevention program in our area targeting those African American women most risk for HIV infection.
