FRIENDS FIRST History |
|
Concerned that the contemporary comprehensive sex education
methodology has not reduced teen pregnancy or sexually
transmitted diseases, citizens from Longmont and Denver began a
grassroots abstinence-centered initiative. FRIENDS FIRST was
founded in April of 1993. |
FRIENDS FIRST Goals |
-
Provide ongoing support to teens to reach the goal of
abstaining from high risk behaviors and to encourage
character development.
-
Educate parents, the primary and most effective educators
-
Sponsor events which support and promote the abstinence
message to teens
-
Provide a resource to health advisory committees, community
leaders and policy makers on issues which promote abstinence
until marriage
|
"I applaud FRIENDS FIRST in getting this message out to our
youth. They need to know it's okay to wait for
marriage to have sex. Abstinence must be taught!"
- A.C. Green, President of A.C. Green Youth Foundation and
N.B.A. Professional Basketball player
