Mission:

To reduce the number of teen pregnancies in the Greater Birmingham area and thereby improve the overall health and wellbeing of our community


Commitment:

Because we know that adolescent childbearing has multiple adverse health, educational, and economic consequences for the adolescent parent and the child, we are committed to improving the health and well being of our community through the reduction of teen pregnancies by education and awareness, advocacy and collaboration.

We believe that overall health and well being includes not only physical health but also emotional, reproductive and social health.

We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children.

We believe that given the proper support and a strong education at every level: family, school and community, youth will set goals and make choices that are best for themselves and therefore best for the communities they live in. Thus, they will be motivated to excel in school and to delay childbearing in order to reach their life goals. Therefore, it is our goal to support comprehensive education in all areas, including reproductive health.
