PCHD's Youth Development program serves middle school students in Pitt County. The goal to increase increase participants' knowledge, skills and behaviors for preventing unintended pregnancies.
Who We Serve
7th and 8th grade students who reside in Pitt County.
How We Impact
The program serves approximately 50 students each school year. Evidence-based curriculums are utilized to provide education, support and provide opportunities to serve the community.These strategies decrease the likely of getting pregnant. The program also introduces students to resources to help prevent unintended pregnancies.
Progress in 2022-2023
Our Youth Development Program was on pause due to COVID during the 20/21 school term. When schools reconvened for the 21/22 school term, we only serviced two schools. Now, with a new Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Coordinator in place, collaborations with schools have been re-established and there are now plans to fully implement the program for the 24/25 School term.
