North Star Youth Partnership - Teenage Pregnancy Prevention | Health Abstinence and Puberty

Health / Abstinence & Puberty

North Star Youth Partnership helps children and teens:

Gain awareness about the changes associated with puberty
Understand the benefits of abstinence
"Get" the risks of sexual activity
Learn how to make positive, healthy choices
Teenage pregnancy prevention

Our curriculum is spiral in nature in that each grade builds upon the next, but students can also attend just one class! You'll be part of activities, discussions and role-plays, along with attending class presentations that are designed to be interesting no matter how you learn (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic).

North Star's Health Education provides:

Classes for youth grades 5-12
Trained educators and facilitators
Parent workshops
Creative writing workshops (Student practice with writing exercises designed to teach them about their own beliefs, values and experiences regarding relationships, teenage pregnancy prevention, self-sufficiency, and much more.)

Funding for North Star's health education and teenage pregnancy prevention is supported in part through the Arizona Department of Health Services Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program.

Do North Star Educators make a difference?

Lead Educator Cristy Leonard was recently teaching a health education class and thought the student teacher looked familiar. Sure enough, after sitting down with her, this is what Lindsay Gonzales had to say:

"One of the main things I remember is the STD presentation. I knew then that I wasn't going to have sex outside of marriage. That class (5years ago) supported me in my abstinece decision and helped me to become who I am today." Lindsay is now a student teacher and plans to graduate within a year. She also plans on continuing her education to get her Master's Degree. "Thank you for what you taught me and know that your class made a huge difference in my life".
