Trenton Boys and Girls Club:
HIV & AIDS

Teens at the Trenton Boys and Girls Club chose to produce their video segment on the epidemic of HIV & AIDS. These teens met once a week at NJN for three to four hour sessions, where they discussed what they learned about their topic through Internet research and learned video production techniques. In order to produce the piece, the kids conducted "man on the street" interviews around downtown Trenton, interviewed a health care professional, and

recorded a discussion with a woman currently living with full blown AIDS. They also recorded on-air stand-ups and voice-overs to narrate the video. When all was said and done, this group came away from the experience having learned a great deal about HIV and AIDS and also gained a greater respect for the importance of health care compliance.
