Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Programs (APPP) across North Carolina provide essential education and support aimed at promoting academic achievement, fostering healthy parent-teen communication, encouraging responsible citizenship, and building self-confidence among participants. By equipping youth with the knowledge and skills to make informed, healthy decisions, these programs directly address the factors that contribute to teen pregnancy.

Approved programs funded under APPP include: Draw the Line/Respect the Line, Making Proud Choices, Reducing the Risk, Safer Choices, Teen Outreach Program®, Teen PEP, and Wise Guys (Level 1). These evidence-based programs help prevent teen pregnancy by promoting healthy relationships, responsible decision-making, and the importance of delaying sexual activity.
