Hi folks,
 
The word SHAG is an acronym that stands for the title 'Sexual Health Advisory Group'.

SHAG is a group made up of youth who have received training and get ongoing support to deliver educational activities, workshops and events for their peers. Our activities promote wellness and build community while educating about sexual health, HIV/AIDS among other relevant topics.

The name SHAG was chosen by the peer educators.

Geared to youth of the GLBTTQ community, SHAG offers regular programming at Gay Zone Gaie, organizes events to engage high risk youth at key times of the year (like at Pride, for World AIDS Day, and around the time of AIDS Walk for Life) and delivers programming within the community.
