Youth Development Program- R.E.A.L Essentials
We are currently scheduling for the 2025 school year.
Call now to book a week that worKS FOR YOU!
The goal of PCGC’s Youth Development Program is to invite students to see life change as they turn away from risky behaviors and say “yes” to healthy relationships, emotional and sexual health, and their future goals.
Students who understand and handle their emotions in healthy ways will have stronger decision-making skills. This program teaches students how positive life choices lead them to the person they want to become.
WHO DO WE SERVE?
Students of all ages are offered valuable, engaging and age-appropriate material to help them navigate the challenges of meaningful relationships.
PCGC’s Youth Development Program has been offered at no cost to schools, churches, and parents since its inception thanks to the generous donors of The Pregnancy Center of Gadsden County, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. PCGC takes ZERO government funds. We are here for the children and the future of Gadsden County and do not depend on the government or government grants to fund our programs. Our supporters are passionate about helping our youth learn strategies for success and avoid roadblocks to a healthy future and allow us to continue this invaluable program, and many more.

WHO DO WE SERVE?
Students of all ages are offered valuable, engaging and age-appropriate material to help them navigate the challenges of meaningful relationships.
- Students are selected by their school counselors or administrators to participate in our class group. Groups meet throughout the school year and summer and are facilitated by fully trained leaders that work to build relationships with the students and create a place to share, learn, and grow. Topics like self-respect, peer pressure, handling stress and emotions, avoiding risks, and choosing sexual integrity are covered.
- Our health-based program exposes the myth of “safe” sex and the consequences of teen sex, which includes more than pregnancy. Possible topics include basing decisions on values over hormones, STIs, pornography, building blocks of a healthy relationship, what consent is NOT, relationship red-flags, and more.
- A program can be tailor made to address the topics most needed for each group. All sessions will challenge students to understand the why behind sexual integrity and why saved sex is best.
- One-time or multiple sessions will give parents tools to start an ongoing dialogue with their children about sex, relationships, and the culture we live in. Parents will be made aware of the effects technology is having on the mental, emotional, and sexual health of their children.
