The following highlights from 2010 are organized by the four major project strategies:1) educating latino/a adolescents in sexuality and reproductive healthfor objective 1, we have developed a curriculum for training youth leaders. The curriculum is appropriate for adolescents and is targeted to two age groups: 12-to-14-year-olds and 15-to-19-year-olds. Using the 10-week curriculum, we recruited and began training a core group of participants in 2009. As part of the program, we developed the name, our rights have no borders, along with a logo, in order to increase the profile and name recognition of the project. We added two additional groups of young leaders in 2010, one in raleigh and one in fuquay varina, totaling 30 participants. As evidence of the efficacy of the project's aim to develop young leaders, two members of the 2009 group participated as co-facilitators for the new groups. In addition we recruited an intern to assist with project logistics.in 2010 we refined the training curriculum based on lessons learned in the first year. Earlier in the project, a capstone team from the health behavior and health education department at unc selected el pueblo, inc. As a community partner and completed an evaluation of the project's first year. Based on this evaluation, the capstone team refined and revised the curriculum as part of their graduate project. The revised version was finalized in april 2010. The curriculum is divided into 10 training sessions: 1) anatomy and puberty; 2) reproductive and sexual rights; 3) sex, gender, and sexual orientation; 4) dating and healthy relationships; 5) attention to and prevention of violence in relationships; 6) self-esteem and body image (including eating disorders); 7) contraceptive methods; 8) early pregnancy, unplanned pregnancies, and options; 9) sexually transmitted infections and hiv; and 10) an open review session for revisiting issues that were raised during the nine previous sessions.as an ongoing part of the program, we have continuously worked to build a strong and open relationship with participant's parents. To formally wrap up the project year, in december 2010 we held a meeting in which parents and project participants shared thoughts, lessons learned during the 2010 project cycle, and ideas for the 2011 project year, including ways to further involve parents and to help them support their children in becoming strong leaders and advocates. A total of 21 youth and adolescents and 17 parents participated in the meeting. 2) training latino/a adolescents as peer educatorsfor objective 2, we began mentoring participants in peer-to-peer training in 2009 and increased the integration of these mentoring activities in the project in 2010. In april 2010 three youth from our program facilitated a body image peer-to-peer presentation and training at el pueblo, inc.'s main office. A total of 35 youth participated in this training and learned about eating disorders, body image, and the impact of media on these issues. The participants later used the skills they learned during this training at public events. Youth from the program also participated in la fiesta del pueblo, a two-day fair organized by el pueblo, inc., at which the youth from our project staffed two booths, one in the health and public safety fair and the other in the youth fair. At the booths, participants led games and demonstrations on how to use female and male condoms and provided information to other youth and to adults about other contraceptive methods. Our first formal peer-to-peer training workshop for 2010 was held in july. In addition to project participants, young people from other el pueblo, inc. Programs, along with youth from pla
