Gay Health Advocacy Project advocates are student volunteers trained to address a broad range of issues pertaining to sexual and emotional health. Advocates provide information about the prevention and treatment of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), as well as the psychological factors connected to these issues.

New advocate recruitment and training typically takes place each year in the fall semester.

The Gay Health Advocay Project (GHAP) is a sexual health advocacy group, part of Alice! Health Promotion. Alice! is part of the integrated Columbia Health department, which serves students health and well-being needs on the Morningside campus. Volunteer GHAP Advocates provide 1:1 support to students on a variety of sexual and reproductive health needs, including providing resources and referrals for HIV testing and counseling, PrEP and PEP consultations, routine STI screenings and education, birth control, menstrual control and reproductive health education, and peer support around sexuality, gender and identity. You can learn more about the GHAP program on the Columbia Health website.
