Community Education
In addition to our well-known hotline programs, CHOICE education staff meets community needs in a big way-reaching approximately 28,000 people a year by providing education and literature in presentations and at health fairs and community events. CHOICE currently offers comprehensive sexual health education in over 180 schools, community centers, social services agencies, churches, and other neighborhood sites throughout Philadelphia.

CHOICE is honored to have been placed on the list of instructional resources recommended and approved by the Philadelphia School District to provide HIV/AIDS prevention and sexuality education in the City's public schools.

Presentations for both adults and youth are offered in a variety of formats and can be customized to fit the needs and interests of the group.

If you are interested in having a CHOICE Education Presentation for adults or youth at your site, please call 215-985-3355, ext. 109 or 158.

Youth Eduction
CHOICE Youth Educators reach teens through presentations and outreach events. CHOICE Youth Educators are extensively trained in sexual and reproductive health topics and related issues, and work with teens in educational games, role-playing, and group discussions. Presentations are customized to reflect the knowledge level and experiences of participants. Through these presentations, teens gain practical information about a variety of health issues that they are able to apply to their own lives.

Our innovative Youth Eduction Program also has an exciting new web site at www.choiceteens.org.

If you are interested in having a CHOICE Education Program for adults or youth at your site, please call 215-985-3355, ext. 109 or 158.
