Who We Are

The Alabama Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy (doing business as the Alabama Campaign for Adolescent Sexual Health) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded on the belief that reducing the rate of teen pregnancy is one of the most direct means available to improve overall child well-being and reduce persistent poverty. Over the years we have expanded our mission to address adolescent sexual health more broadly.

The Alabama Campaign was founded in 1999, and incorporated in 2002, in response to a deep concern among community leaders that Alabama had one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the United States. Alabama has made progress in reducing teen pregnancy since 1999, but even with that progress we remain ranked among the states with the highest rates of teen pregnancy.

Addressing adolescent sexual health requires the thoughtful and deliberate attention of parents/caregivers, youth, community leaders, educators, policy makers, faith leaders, and others who have an interest in the healthy development of Alabama’s children and youth.  You can receive information and learn about adolescent sexual health in Alabama by signing up for our monthly newsletter.
