CISNCAP Students Attend DC Youth Health Summit

Site Coordinators from Communities in Schools of the Nation’s Capital (CISNCAP) recently accompanied nearly 50 students from Eastern High School, Cardozo Education Campus, and HD Woodson High School to the HAHSTA (The HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, STD and TB Administration) Youth Summit. The event, organized by DC Health, was held at the MLK Public Library and aimed to promote sexual health awareness and encourage early detection of STIs/HIV among high school students. During the Summit, students participated in physical activities, received STI/HIV screenings, and attended educational sessions. This strategic partnership between CISNCAP and DC Health broadened the support network for CISNCAP students, providing them with a community of support to help them stay in school and succeed.
