HIV 101 Training of Trainers Isaiah Webster III Director of Capacity Building Metro TeenAIDS January 12, 2011
Training Goal • This intermediate-level training will walk community-based organizations through how to set up and maintain an HIV 101 for their agency. • Participants will walk away with a toolkit for developing an HIV 101 to meet various target populations. • This workshop will also provide guidance to trainers on how to build and promote HIV 101s within the community.
back to basics…the 4 things every HIV/AIDS organization should do
The Concept • “Back to Basics” refers to four things that every HIV prevention community-based organization should implement no matter their region or target population. • HIV 101 (and TOT) • Referral System • Establish Partnerships • Peer volunteer recruitment/training • Only after implementing the basics should the CBO branch off into other areas of enhancement: • DEBIs • Social Networking • Web/Technology 2.0 • Community Planning & Building Coalitions
Basics #1: HIV 101 & TOT • Develop an HIV 101 that speaks to the target population you are trying to reach • Train all staff and volunteers to be trainers • Promote the HIV 101 as a core service ----- • Beyond Basics • Create an HIV 101 webinar • Place HIV 101 on your website/social marketing sites • Create HIV 201 and 301 using your existing model
Basics #2: Referral System • Create a referral system using a “buffet” model • Have members of your target population “secret shop” your referrals • Create referral card or list ----- • Beyond Basics • Partner with referral agencies around common areas of interest • Train all staff and volunteers on community referrals
Basics #3: Establish Partnerships • Support organizations with like-minded missions by your attendance and contributions • Co-sponsor events and programs • Share information, training & “industry” knowledge ----- • Beyond Basics • Apply for funding jointly • Merge organizations when necessary for survival or to avoid duplication of services
Basics #4: Peer Volunteer Recruitment and Training • Recruit and train volunteers who are peers of the target population you are trying to reach • Assign volunteers key roles and responsibilities • Seek input from volunteers for program development and implementation ----- • Beyond Basics • Hire volunteers for staff when appropriate • Allow volunteers to be spokespersons for your organization within the community • Volunteer Appreciation Banquet!
HIV 101 defined • For the purposes of this training, an HIV 101 is defined as a basic overview of HIV/AIDS; how to prevent the transmission of HIV; and how to receive free HIV testing in D.C. • Each person and/or organization should define what an HIV 101 is to them. • Your target audience should determine how you define an HIV 101.
Building an HIV 101 • When building an HIV 101 course for your agency, begin by considering the following: • Target population • Amount of course time • Venue(s) • Take aways • Facilitators
HIV 101 Interaction and/or Games Visuals AND Text presentation of Information Actionable Take Aways Demonstrations Handouts & Referral Cards Food and/or Drinks Essential elements of a solid HIV 101
Training & Implementation Checklist • Recruit & Train Facilitators • Establish shadowing for perspective facilitators • Pick your format • Build HIV 101 Toolbox or Course • Separate into modules • Gather handouts, referrals and training materials • Establish HIV 101 checklist • Facilitator’s Guide • Evaluation • Don’t forget your agency “commerical”
