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.
