CHOICES is designed to empower young female students and their partners to discuss critical health issues affecting their lives and their community; and to become actively involved to reduce the incidence of HIV/AIDS in the Latino community. Peer Educators work closely with their campus administration to rehearse and perform interactive and age-appropriate vignettes addressing these difficult issues on the UCC campus. The vignettes, adapted in the students' own words, incorporate bicultural nuances and themes that are in line with subscribed prevention messages ... the students can relate!
At the same time, CHOICES helps to form long-lasting friendships and develop leadership qualities to benefit students in their current academic and social lives, as well as future professional careers. Our cast members built these bonds by joining in a unified sense of purpose.

And they had fun!
