Emerging Adults

This program educates older teens and youth, ages 19 to 23, on topics regarding reproductive health, pregnancy prevention, where to go in the community to access various birth control methods and where to find more information about preventing pregnancy and/or STDs/STIs/HIV.
Currently, our Community Educators work with the local technical college, Aiken Tech, as well as the traditional four-year institution, the University of South Carolina Aiken, by hosting single-session and extended single-session presentations relating to a variety of different subject matter.
