The National Resource Center for HIV/AIDS Prevention among Adolescents launched its website on June 25, 2012. The Resource Center houses a repository of tools and resources for implementing and adapting existing evidenced-based programs. Technical assistance is also available for youth-serving agencies and professionals that need additional support with their programming.
