Things Happen If No Knowledge

THINK is a sexuality education program designed by students, parents, faculty and staff at North Lawndale College Prep.

There are three primary goals for the impact of the program among students at NLCP: •

• To reduce the number of sexually transmitted infections.
• To reduce the number of unintended pregnancies.
• To promote healthy behavior with regard to sexuality and relationships.

Specifically, the THINK program aims to:

• provide accurate information that young people need to make healthy choices with regard to sexuality;
• increase knowledge and skills for avoiding unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases and infections;
• encourage learning about sexuality issues that goes beyond factual information and that will be useful throughout participants’ lives; and
• help participants develop the skills necessary to address issues of sexuality as they mature into healthy adults.

Freshmen & sophomore students at NLCP receive THINK instruction as part of their Health class during one trimester of the 2006-2007 school year.

Juniors receive THINK instruction during their LIFT study hall periods 2 days per week.
