Our Impact
Youth who participate in puberty and sexual health classes have lower risks of future unintended teen pregnancies and a reduced risk of STD exposure. Taking part in reproductive health classes increases students’ awareness of normal milestones they will experience throughout adolescence and how to manage many of those changes. Self awareness and esteem are boosted, healthy boundaries are encouraged and a feeling of connection to other youth as well as trusted adults is fostered.
High School level classes help teens access information relating to dating, sexuality, safer sex practices, benefits of abstinence, condom and birth control usage, STD testing, clinic service options and creating healthy boundaries.
Nutrition courses connect youth, adults, families, schools and individuals to the many benefits of choosing whole foods and creating a healthy lifestyle.
“Parents, Guardians, Teachers and other Trusted Adults who reach out to and connect with youth will demonstrate that a supportive relationship between youth and adults fosters a deeper sense of security while navigating the sometimes tumultuous journey through puberty and adolescence.”
