The health education program provides an evidence-based curriculum to teens in traditional high school, alternative school, and juvenile hall settings. The 6-hour curriculum is taught in one day, over two days, or over 3 days. Teens receive a gift card for completing the entire course, which focuses on teen pregnancy and STD prevention, birth control methods with an emphasis on condom use, healthy relationships, and personal responsibility for sexual health.
