Mission Mission

Teens are recruited from every middle school in the El Paso area

Over 800 teens have graduated from our program

We track them till they finish high school

Only 6 have reported having a pregnancy before finishing high school

Parents too, must learn about these issues!!

Learning about boys, is not so easy!!
