NYC Health + Hospitals, Test & Treat

Children’s Aid Staff

As the lead educator of our Carrera Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program, Cameron knows a thing or two about trusting young people to make responsible decisions. He oversees a “waist-up” sex ed curriculum, which includes lessons about reproduction and safe sex while also focusing heavily on the most important sex organ in the body: the brain. This past year, Cameron helped hundreds of youth understand Roe v. Wade, the contraceptives and medical tests at our health clinics, and our academic and career opportunities, all while emphasizing that having a plan for the future is the best strategy to make good decisions about sexual health.

Children’s Aid Partner

When NYC Test & Treat Corps looked for partners to test and vaccinate America’s most populated city for COVID-19, they turned to a leader working in the hardest-hit communities: Children’s Aid. The Corps stationed mobile units at our sites, administering 2,500-plus vaccinations and nearly 16,000 tests. They also worked with us and recording artist Cher to offer the CherCares mobile vaccination unit to teens at our sites and at city public schools. Lenord, a mobile unit nurse, said, “This was the best experience in my 15 years of nursing — caring for children who hold our future in their hands.”
