ABOUT US

 

The Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Initiative is made up of dedicated professionals who are passionate about their work with young people. Each is a parent themselves and understands the challenges parents face in relationships with adolescents.


Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Specialists work to increase public awareness of problems associated with early sexual activity and childbearing and collaborate with existing community organizations to promote local activities for adolescent pregnancy prevention. APPI offers abstinence based education but includes information about contraceptives and access to family planning services.
