Welcome to the Healthy Youth Coalition NC

Our nonprofit coalition, based in Raleigh, seeks to support school districts during the implementation phase of the Healthy Youth Act of 2009.

 

I hope you share our values- that solid education and preventive health measures can help the people of our community.  In the coming months, school board officials will decide how to educate young people about reproductive health.  All available data shows that a combination of abstinence and comprehensive sex education best helps adolescents make good decisions about their health.  The Healthy Youth Act (HYA) requires that 7-9th graders receive medically accurate information.

 

Teen pregnancy and STD rates in North Carolina are far too high.  Now is our chance to fight this public health crisis.  The HYA is a win-win for everyone. More than 90% of North Carolina parents support medically accurate sex education in our schools.  Make sure your school board adopts policies and curricula that are proven to work!

 

The Healthy Youth NC Coalition exists to:

  • Ensure proper implementation of the Healthy Youth Act
  • Raise awareness about the need for the Healthy Youth Act.
  • Support school districts, parents, teens, and community members in understanding the Healthy Youth act.
