A condom availability program is a program intended to bring condoms to people who would have otherwise not gotten them due to financial, logistical, or even cultural impediments. These programs are often found in places where people naturally assemble in large groups or high traffic locations such as clinics, schools, community centers, and dormitories. Frequently aimed at teens, condom availability programs make condoms accessible (usually at little or no cost) and lessen the awkwardness that teens may feel if they have to ask for or publicly buy condoms.
