The University of Minnesota Youth and AIDS Projects (YAP) was founded in 1989, with a mission to prevent transmission of HIV to and from high-risk youth and to provide care to youth and families living with HIV infection. Our governing philosophy is that adolescents can and do make responsible health-related decisions, given appropriate resources and support. YAP programs are grounded in the belief that HIV-related services for youth must be developmentally appropriate, culturally competent, coordinated, and family-centered in order to be effective.
YAP is administratively housed in the Division of General Pediatrics & Adolescent Health, Department of Pediatrics, at the University of Minnesota. As both a University- and community-based organization, YAP intertwines service provision, research, and teaching in all aspects of programming. |
