Youth AIDS
leaders will hold summit April 29 in New York City

Students from across the nation will join public health officials and corporate leaders on April 29 in New York City to participate in the "Young Global Leaders Summit: Fighting AIDS." The summit will mark the five-year anniversary of the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS, a set of goals adopted by the United Nations General Assembly to stop the spread of AIDS. The summit, held on the New York University campus, will highlight speakers from YouthAIDS, AIDemocracy, the Open Society, the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, and Kiehl's Since 1851. The summit also will educate participants on a number of new ways that corporate and pop culture leaders are fighting AIDS. The day will end with the launch of a national grassroots HIV awareness campaign, with more than 1,000 students taking to the streets of New York City to heighten awareness that AIDS continues to be a global pandemic facing youth.
