Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina to participate in May meeting

Our next meeting will be May 11 and will feature a conference call with Sally Swanson, director of prevention programs for the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina. The APPCNC successfully lobbied their state legislature to amend their abstinence-only sex education state statute to one that mandates schools to implement a  comprehensive sex ed program.

Check out the Florida State Statute regarding sex education.

Check out the Healthy Youth Act of North Carolina, which amended the abstinence-only statute to a mandate of comprehensive sex education.

Check out a case study by the National Campaign on the APPCNC.
