Project Claridad is a youth program focusing on improving the health of the community. The goal of Project Claridad is to stop the growth of HIV/AIDS in the Hispanic community through educational activities, exchanges and education of youth 14-21 years of age.

Project Claridad works with youth health promotores that live in Cresent City and Belle Glade, Florida. In Crescent City, the youth are members of the Step Ahead to Success project of the Migrant Education program in Putnam County. In Belle Glade, the youth are brought in by Farmworker Coordinating Council of Palm Beach County.
Why Project Claridad?

HIV/AIDS is a real crisis in the Hispanic communities of Florida. But we love our community and because of that, we as local youth, are working energetically and creatively to stop the spread of the HIV virus in our community.

Project Claridad is a collaboration of The Rural Women's Health Project, Migrant Education of Putnam County's "Step Ahead To Success" Program Farmworker Coordinating Council of Palm Beach County. Project Claridad is funded by the Pfizer Foundation's Southern Prevention Initiative.
