The National Youth Advocacy Coalition, in partnership with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is a provider of Capacity Building Assistance for organizations which are planning or implementing HIV testing programs and services for youth and young adults -- specifically, those that work with LGBTQ or youth of color.

NYAC offers skill-based competency training to HIV counseling and testing staff on the appropriate and adequate provision of HIV testing to youth and young adult populations.  The competency training covers topics of relevance such as adolescent development, considerations for providing HIV testing to youth with an emphasis on youth of color and sexual minority youth, and practical and reality-based counseling and testing protocols for use with either standard or rapid test technology in any setting.

NYAC also provides participating organizations with training on implementing You Know Different within their community, complete with the necessary materials and evaluation tools.

In addition, NYAC offers a variety of technical assistance and training to LGBTQ youth serving organizations focusing on the creation of safe spaces, mentoring, and the development of organizational policies and protocols to ensure the safety of the young people being served.
