YLTLP Alumnae in Action
Take a look at this teen pregnancy prevention video produced by our YLTLP 2008 program participants from Norte Vista High School in Riverside.

"This video was intentionally made to bring awareness about the consequences of the misunderstandings of teen relationships. We believe that this video will help us promote our new club called H.E.R.S. (health, equality, reality, sisterhood), which will begin in the fall of 2008. H.E.R.S will educate and guide girls on our campus on how to take the right path and maintain healthy relationships."
