Youth volunteers from Nevada County's Peer Advocates for Health held a candlelight vigil Tuesday night at Nevada City Hall to mark World AIDS Day.

The vigil featured speakers, including a local woman living with HIV, and an instrumental performance.

The volunteers work through on-campus clubs at local high schools to educate their peers about reproductive health issues, including HIV and AIDS.
