This program is an abstinence education program for Hispanic girls ages 11-15 and their parents and family. It gives the young women a chance to reflect on what their Quinceañera means as a rite of passage. The girls will explore topics including character development, body image, love, relationships, peer pressure, communication with their parents and peers, the negative consequences to early sexual involvement and the benefits of sexual abstinence until marriage. The program includes a community service project to encourage the girls to begin thinking about their adult role in their community and a graduation ceremony to celebrate their commitment to abstinence until marriage. The program is packed with activities and thought provoking discussion topics. Parents and family members attend to offer support throughout the program and learn how to better communicate with their teens on tough topics, particularly sex.

This program can be structured in a 10-hour, 16-hour or 24-hour format depending on the involvement and depth your group prefers. These hours can be divided in the number of sessions that work for your group. Some groups meet once a week while others complete the program during a weekend retreat.
