Guide to Preventing Teen Pregnancy

The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy - in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services - is pleased to offer Get Organized: A Guide to Preventing Teen Pregnancy, a practical manual for people who are interested in taking action to prevent teen pregnancy in their communities. The three-volume, 17-chapter publication covers a lot of ground - from strategies for involving boys and men and for reaching out to religious leaders to practical advice about how to raise money and to conduct program evaluation. Yet it remains easy to read and simple to use, with many checklists and examples from promising programs around the country.

Developed with the support of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies, Get Organized is available in two formats - as a boxed set of three spiral bound volumes or in Adobe PDF format that can be downloaded and printed.
