Description
The Community Health Awareness Team (CHAT) empowers local youth with the knowledge, skills, and resources to make informed, responsible choices about their health and future.
CHAT provides evidence-based programs that reduce the risk of teen pregnancy through comprehensive, age-appropriate education focused on decision-making, communication, and consent. This holistic, inclusive approach helps youth develop the cognitive and social skills necessary to build healthy relationships and make informed life choices.
In addition to health education, CHAT supports positive youth development through leadership programs like Young Women Choosing Action. This 13-week initiative fosters self-awareness, mindfulness, and advocacy by guiding participants to explore their identities, build confidence, and create community impact through social action projects.
