Your Investment Returned

Educating youth on the importance of healthy choices does more than just impact the individual. It paves the way for significant economic benefits.  The costs of STD treatment, healthcare for teen pregnancies, welfare for high school dropouts, and treatment for victims of violence all fall on the shoulders of society as a whole, and they add up fast. Students who participate in Equipping Youth programs are not only more aware of the negative outcomes of risky activities, they also build protective factors and skills needed to avoid participating in them in the first place, significantly reducing the need for costly interventions.
