education services


Our goal in education is to meet our clients where they are and also as a preventative measure to equip people prior to the need of resources including STI screening and pregnancy testing. We are grateful for our partnerships with schools where we teach our reproductive health curriculum, Willing to Wait. In addition we are also thankful for community organizations that allow us to offer educational opportunities outside Alternatives walls. We will seek additional opportunities for expanding our outreach. These educational resources are available for our community of supporters as well as our clients. We will continue to prioritize education that our clients desire and seek God’s direction for what is next!

YOUTH EDUCATION

WILLING TO WAIT®

Willing to Wait (W2W) is our youth program that equips young people with truthful information and skills that enable them to make healthy decisions. This is an abstinence-centered, Sexual Risk Avoidance (SRA) curriculum that we use in public and private schools, youth organizations, and more. In addition to reproductive anatomy and sexual health, we also teach about healthy relationships, the law, consent, boundaries and refusal skills and so much more. By offering W2W, we have an opportunity to impact young people before they become sexually active. This curriculum is FULL of hands-on activity, real-life scenarios, and opportunities for youth to critically think about how the decisions they make today impact their future.


*For more information or to inquire about bringing W2W to your school or organization please contact us.
