The CAG program is a statewide network of grassroots organizations that provide HIV education in their communities according to their specific needs and community standards. Step-Up provides technical assistance, training and resources to the 18 member CAGs. Individual CAGs vary in size and scope but must meet a list of criteria to remain in good standing and are required to submit an annual Plan of Action and quarterly reports. A full day meeting is held for the CAGs on a quarterly basis as well as an annual retreat.
