Our Mission:
To educate and empower youth to choose a healthy and safe lifestyle which includes sexual abstinence until marriage, the avoidance of drugs, alcohol and other risk related behaviors.

Often you may hear a teen say “WHAT’S GOOD?!”
…referring to “what’s new?” or “what’s up?”… Our program is designed to educate kids on “what’s good” for their emotional, social, and physical well being. The WHAT’S GOOD Program consist of a passionate and dedicated team trained to teach young people how to make choices that will help guide them to accomplish their dreams and goals in life.

The WHAT’S GOOD message teaches students
to say “yes” to a healthy life style of freedom from the worry of unplanned pregnancy, STDs and the stress and depression that often result from teen sexual activity. In the last four years our program has received much positive feedback from parents, teachers, and students alike. We empower young people to understand the benefits of making healthy choices so they have the opportunity to experience all that is “good”.

We desire to partner with schools by sharing in a mutual mission to educate and prepare students for healthy lives and successful futures. The decisions our students make now are decisions that are either leading them to a bright and fulfilled future, or one filled with difficulty and disillusionment. When students are shown how to make healthy choices that can directly impact their quality of life, they begin to live with vision and purpose. They become young men and woman who will be able to fulfill their hopes and dreams for the future.

Topics we cover in the classroom include:

  • Setting Goals and Dreams

  • STD’s
