 The Teen Advocates are a corps of 60 teenagers trained by Planned Parenthood of New York City to conduct theatrical workshops on a variety of sexual health topics -- including abstinence, peer pressure, relationships, and prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The Teen Advocates perform their interactive skits before thousands of teens every year in a wide range of community settings. They share information in a way that their peers can readily hear and understand. As a result of the group's outstanding work, they received a recognition award in 2000 from the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. The Teen Advocates program operates in the South Bronx (212-965-4837), Brooklyn (212-274-7263), and the Lower East Side (212-274-7367). For more information, call the telephone numbers above. |
