Kicking
AIDS Out! courses
Permission requested to use information from www.kickingaidsout.net
The Kicking AIDS Out! network has developed standardized courses
which are implemented by all the members. The objective by utilizing
this concept is to bring about change - change in behaviour, the
reduction of HIV prevalence among young people and create an environment
conducive for caring for those infected with or affected by HIV
infection.
The Program Development Working Group consists of members from
various countries in the network. This group is responsible for
developing program materials. They are mandated to develop the following
programs:
Kicking AIDS Out Leader Level 2 (LL2)
Kicking AIDS Out Leader Level 1 (LL1)
Kicking AIDS Out Peer Leaders (PL)
A person assesed as competent against this standard (Kicking AIDS
Out Level 1) will be able to demonstrate an understanding of HIV
and AIDS and abilitity to integrate these competencies in the coaching
of peer leaders.
A Peer leader must be able to deliver quality sport programmes
and these competencies. The peer leader must be able to create an
environment that is conducive for caring for those infected with/affected
by HIV.
The Power of peer education
Kicking AIDS Out curriculum builds capacity in youth to help them
become stronger leaders and mentors for their peers. It also teaches
youth coaches to lead activities that integrate life skills and
HIV and AIDS information into sport and physical activity. Youth
can then become trainers and assume greater responsibility for supporting
and mentoring other Peer Leaders.
Our mission is to empower youth to positively influence
their lives and the lives of others by actively enhancing life skills
through sport.
The Kicking AIDS Out! network
