Advocates for Youth

Every year, 1 million teens become pregnant.  Every minute, 5 youth are infected with HIV worldwide.  Your donation educates and empowers young people to make informed, responsible decisions about sex. 

How do you help people in my community?

Advocates' services are available to every community in the country and in several countries in African and Latin America. We assist and support educators, health care providers, advocates, policy makers, parents, and teens themselves adapt best practices in teen pregnancy and/or HIV/STD prevention to meet the specific needs of youth in their communities.

Why do you need my support?

Advocates greatly appreciates contributions, no matter how small, from individuals. Such gifts allow us to continue and expand our programs to support and improve pregnancy and STD/HIV prevention initiatives for teens. Advocates is a bold voice for changing the way society approaches teen pregnancy and HIV/STD prevention away from the negative emphasis on fear and ignorance. How can I be sure that you will use my money wisely and won't waste it?

If you care about teens, you can be sure we will not wast your money. We are professionals in the public health and related fields who are dedicated to the well-being of teenagers.
