Current iTP₃ Innovators

The Atlanta Coalition for Teen Pregnancy Prevention (ACT) is an innovative teen pregnancy prevention program designed to change the culture of talking about sex for youth, families and the community. This innovative program is a collaborative approach connecting youth to programs and providers. The goal of ACT is to reduce teenage pregnancy by providing non-traditional training and links to resources. ACT partners with first responders, police officers, barber shops, schools, recreational centers and churches to hear raw and real stories, and to address ecological factors influencing teenage pregnancy in the community. In addition, the ACT coalition offers tailored professional training on subjects such as empowerment, pregnancy prevention, relationships, goals, peer pressure, financial resources, communication, and program facilitation.
