The teen pregnancy classes will consist of learning about contraceptives, learning about abstinence and learning about the cost of having and raising a child. In addition, each participant will be paired with a teen mother or teen father volunteer to shadow for 48 hours. This will serve as real life experience about being a teen parent, before actually becoming one. The teen parent volunteers will be provided free activities in exchange for their participation in the program.

Members of the community will be recruited to volunteer as advocates and mentors to the teens who belong to the center. The teens will be encouraged to shadow the adults on their jobs and in their lives to see alternatives to becoming teenage parents and to encourage them to have goals and ambitions other than sex.

The center will provide a nurse practitioner once a week to handle check ups and birth control needs. In addition the center will provide condoms for free. The center will also set up a 24-hour hotline for teens to call with any problem they have so that they do not feel they have no one to talk to or turn to other than a romantic partner.

The people who are against anything but abstinence may object to the teen center and believe it promotes teenage sex, however, it will work to promote other life choices, productive lifestyles and responsible decisions, about all areas of life including sex.

The centers will be funded by public donations and government assistance and will be housed in donated buildings.

Teen pregnancy is a problem in the area, however, if teens are encouraged and taught to make responsible life choices, and enjoy other activities of high risk they may begin to make sure they do not encounter pregnancy.

The centers need to open throughout the city so that teens will have easy access to them. The hours of operation should provide times for teens to hang out after school after work and on weekends. The activities should be advertised as a way to attract new center members and they should have a predetermined number of classes posted for each activity so the teens can plan their time at the center most effectively.
