OUR MISSION
The Teen Pregnancy & Prevention Partnership is a coalition of individuals and private and public organizations working together to improve communication and education so that youth in the St. Louis Metropolitan area make choices that decrease the incidence of sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancies.
The Partnership works to achieve this goal by providing:
| :: |
Training for health, social service and education professionals on best practices and current issues regarding teen pregnancy prevention. |
| :: |
Information on resources for teen pregnancy prevention for youth, parents and service providers. |
| :: |
Technical assistance to communities that want to organize teen pregnancy prevention efforts. |
| :: |
Networking opportunities for professionals working with youth. |
| :: |
An annual youth scholarship award in memory of one of Teen Pregnancy & Prevention Partnership’s early supporters, Felicia Gayle. |
The Teen Pregnancy & Prevention Partnership also embraced the following values:
 |
We believe those who parent children are and should be the primary source of their values. |
 |
We believe the community has the responsibility to provide an environment conducive for all youth to make healthy decisions. |
 |
We believe that the diversity of beliefs in the community requires multiple approaches. |
