Sex Education
Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs
ACASH is a sub-grant awardee of the federal Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program (TPPP) grant administered via the Office of Population Affairs (OPA). Under this grant we administer the SHARE program. ACASH staff are trained and certified to implement the following evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs with young people. These programs are implemented in partnership with community-based organizations.
If you are interested in hosting either of these programs in your community, please use the contact form below.
Youth Advisory Councils
The Alabama Campaign for Adolescent Sexual Health runs two Youth Advisory Councils - Girls at the Center Youth Advisory Council (GACYAC) and Sexual Health for Adolescents Rooted in Equity Youth Advisory Council (SHARE YAC).
Our GACYAC is open to youth ages 14-24 located in the greater Montgomery area; our SHARE YAC is open to youth ages 14-19 from across Alabama. YACs meet monthly to learn about sexual and reproductive health (SRH) topics, including preventing STIs and HIV, unplanned pregnancy, and sexual violence. They also learn leadership and advocacy skills. YACs are an opportunity for youth to contribute directly to our work with honest feedback and suggestions.
Both YACs are currently closed to new membership at this time.
Girls at the Center Final Projects
CONFIDANT is a website created by our 2022/2023 GACYAC as their final group project.
The young people in this cohort wanted a website created BY Alabama young people, FOR Alabama young people. CONFIDANT has resources related to relationships, safety, LGBTQ+ issues, and more, including hotlines and warm lines for young people in crisis.
