Elvis Tillett became a Summit Fellow at age 26. He is the Career Guidance and Placement Officer of the National 4-H Youth Development Center, a residential alternative adolescent and youth training institution within Youth for the Future, the Belizean Government’s Youth Department, located in Belmopan City, Belize. Since his participation in 2004, Elvis and 4H have been working to integrate adolescent sexual and reproductive health curriculum into the Center’s Health and Life Skills Education Curriculum. Elvis has worked with a community nurse to provide weekly sessions to over 100 youth on topics such as confidentiality, self esteem, puberty, contraceptives, STI’s, HIV/AIDS, violence/abuse, conflict resolution, drug use and drug abuse, decision making, communication, and goal setting. For the past three years, Elvis has selected a group of 10-15 trainees to form peer support groups that he claims “are a very strong group of young people committed to voice out their needs and opinions.” Collaborating with staff from the Red Cross “Together We Can” project, Elvis will provide the peer youth group with weekly training sessions to become certified health educators and intends to fully integrate Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health content into the Center’s curriculum by September 2007.
