Each May, in celebration of National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month, we hope to offer an Open House Just for Teens. If you are a teen who couldn’t make it to our recent open house, all the information is still available at no cost – just give us a call.

Also for middle and high schools -- we are happy to come and do an in-service workshop for your students. Just let us know.

Get your questions answered!

• Have you ever gotten into a relationship just because all your friends are in one?
• Is having sex the best way to prove to someone how much you love them?
• Can guys be victims of dating violence?
• Have you ever stayed in a relationship long after you knew “it was over”?
• You’re 15, he’s 22. Why does everyone say that’s a problem?

Here are a few links to some great youth-oriented websites.

Looking for straightforward, medically accurate, non-biased, gender-inclusive information that doesn’t talk down to you or sweep your sexuality under the rug?  Look no further young friends! Scarleteen.com is a fantastic resource where young folks can get real answers to their scariest, most burning questions and the facts about reproductive health, intimacy and sexuality. 

Looking for a way to ride the wave to the future of the feminist movement? Then check out the Third Wave Foundation.  They're a group of young women, moving money into the hands of YOUNG WOMEN, believing that it is the best way to ensure our future and the power and potential of our movement. Third Wave is a feminist, activist foundation that works nationally to support young women and transgender youth ages 15 to 30. Through strategic grantmaking, leadership development, and philanthropic advocacy, they support groups and individuals working towards gender, racial, economic, and social justice.

Want to be among the next generation of leaders who promote and protect reproductive freedom?  Choice USA is the voice for young people in the reproductive justice movement. We are youth-led, controlled, focused and centered. They give young people – who are the first to be compromised, and the most politically vulnerable, power to take into their own hands decisions that affect their lives.  

Did you know that there is an intensive journalism mentoring and leadership development program for teen girls in Boston?  Teen Voices creates an internationally distributed print and online alternative magazine reaching 60,000 readers worldwide and receiving 7.2 million hits from 98 countries.

Athena Magazine for Girls was founded in October 2007 and aims to be the biggest and the best media source for young women around the world. AMG is different from most other media sources for teen girls. AMG knows that the media continues to frame teen girls in terms of fashion, make-up, and boys. AMG recognizes that young women are well-rounded and interesting --- and they expect their media to be the same way.
