Services for Adolescents

Programs are designed for middle school and high school aged youth and emphasize abstinence as the safest choice while also informing participants about contraceptive methods and condom use. These programs are provided in partnership with community organizations such as the SC Department of Juvenile Justice, Charleston Police Department's Camp Hope, Charleston County School District, and other youth serving organizations. If you are a part of a youth serving organization and are interested in integrating our programs into your services, please contact us.
