WHY STUDENTS?

The TNP teaches the country’s leading relationship education curriculum: REAL Essentials. The Advance curriculum is specifically designed to equip adults to teach high school students skills for combating challenges they face, while the Starting Point curriculum is specially designed to launch children into adolescence successfully. It teaches relationship skills that reduce friendship drama and enhance confidence and social success. Lesson content captivates the heart and directs students toward positive decision-making. The sexual health components of this Student Life Program are SRA (Sexual Risk Avoidance) approved. All lessons are inclusive, evidence-based, and medically accurate.

ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS

The True North Project helps prepare students for better life outcomes:

Reduce their risk of poverty. Census data show that if all Americans followed the success sequence at the same rate as Americans had in 1970, the poverty rate would be cut by around 70% — without additional government spending. No welfare program, however amply funded, could ever hope for anything approaching such success.

Decrease risk behaviors including drug abuse, alcohol abuse

Avoid teen pregnancy

Graduate from High school

Build stronger relationships and establish healthy boundaries

Learn better do’s and don’ts regarding social media usage

Recognize and respect differences in others

Learn effective communication techniques for navigating conflict and expressing oneself

Learn relationship “red flags” and develop healthy dating strategies and ideas for staying connected with good friends

How to plan for and achieve the future they want

Develop their individual identity

How to identify and avoid bullying

Developing leadership skills for gaining future employment/keeping a job

Sex in the context of love and its effect on whole person health

True North Research

The data demonstrate an urgent need to address teen sex in Florida as 16% of Middle school and 45% of High school students in this area report that they have already engaged in sexual intercourse. The WAIT Project demonstrably changes attitudes, knowledge and skills relevant to teen sexual activity. Data show statistically reliable change from pre to post on the vast majority of items which represent the following categories: Attitudes about Abstinence, Knowledge, Beliefs that Match the A-H Principles, Skills and Behavioral Intentions. Based on pre-post results, it is clear that the Wait Project is demonstrating an immediate impact on participating youth. Collecting longer term data (e.g., at 6 and 12 months) will determine sustainability and long-term effects. The WAIT Project is being highly successful in meeting its aim to educate and support teen decisions to postpone sexual activity until marriage.
