PREGNANCY
PREVENTION

Overview

The Pregnancy Prevention Project promotes positive female development by building upon internal and external developmental assets as girls’ transition from adolescence to adulthood. Girls ages 13-18 are provided with opportunities to discover their capabilities, cultivate their own skills and talents while increasing their life skills, social skills, self-esteem and leadership abilities.

Goals

The overall goals of the Project are to promote the positive development of girls, promote the development of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors necessary for youth to make positive life choices, increase their self-esteem, increase knowledge of risk behaviors and increase their knowledge of career opportunities and employment readiness skills.
