Welcome! We’re glad you are here!

The Taking Action! Project: Art and Aboriginal Youth Leadership for HIV Prevention is a national project working with six Aboriginal communities across Canada. We want to figure out how Aboriginal youth understand HIV in relation to their communities and cultures and also to see if using art is an effective tool for working with youth to talk about HIV/AIDS.

The goal of this website is to share what the Taking Action! Project is all about, including the inspiring youth we have met across the country, their amazing art, and how you can get involved!

Welcome to Taking Action!

We would like to thank the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), the Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN), and the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University for providing the funding for this project.
