NORTH CAROLINA, TAKE ACTION NOW TO END ABSTINENCE-ONLY FUNDING!

More than 60% of young people in America will have had sex before graduating from high school. “Just Say No” didn’t work for drugs and it won’t work for sex.

JOIN THE NORTH CAROLINA SEX EDUCATION CAMPAIGN!

Did you know:

North Carolina has the 8th highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation.
More than 50 percent of North Carolina’s high school students report having already had sex.
North Carolina requires students to receive abstinence-only-until-marriage programs that teach that sex outside of marriage is likely to cause emotional and physical harm.

Advocates for Youth and Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina have built a Youth Activist Network in North Carolina that will work towards making comprehensive sexuality education available to all young people in North Carolina's middle and high schools.

Join the campaign in North Carolina today!
