DocuSign Envelope ID: D13694BA-66F1-4441-9114-5334F2B6AC3D XHIBIT A <br /> PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION <br /> programming for youth facing a variety of challenges. <br /> PPSAT will provide Teen Connections, a sexual education program for teens that <br /> uses the evidence-based Becoming a Responsible Teen (BART) BART is a <br /> comprehensive curriculum specifically designed to increase many of the knowledge <br /> and skill-based protective factors about contraception use and negotiation skills. <br /> PPSAT will also offer Smart Girls, a science-based, intensive adolescent pregnancy <br /> prevention program for middle school girls. The goal of both programs is to build <br /> self-esteem and healthy decision-making to delay initiation of sex, increase condom <br /> use of sexually active teens, and reduce the number of sexual partners for those <br /> teens. <br /> In addition, we will be using the Making Proud Choices! Program and Making Proud <br /> Choices! Plus which stress making proud and responsible choices. While <br /> recognizing the geographic and cultural diversity among U.S. youth, the curriculum <br /> addresses beliefs associated with sexual risk behavior. It was proven effective at <br /> increasing knowledge about HIV, other STDs and pregnancy, strengthening <br /> negotiation skills, and lowering incidence of HIV/STD risk-associated behavior. (9 <br /> sessions) <br /> Making Proud Choices uses a combination of lectures, videos and activities to <br /> motivate students to become responsible and proud decision makers. <br /> Making Proud Choices! Plus is identical to that of Making Proud Choices! However, <br /> this curriculum is specifically geared toward youth in out-of-home care and <br /> addresses the needs and challenges of this population. It is also a great program for <br /> LBGQT youth. <br /> We will invite graduates of our teen education programs to participate in our alumni <br /> group. Through the alumni group, we will look at the larger community to identify <br /> other needs and design and implement appropriate service projects. This service- <br /> learning component will work to increase community involvement. <br /> Parent workshops will improve parents' confidence in talking to their children about <br /> sex and will increase parent-child communication about sex and contraception. <br /> Alumni will lead workshop sessions so that parents have the opportunity to practice <br /> talking to teens about these sensitive topics. <br /> Our program will also include a series of chats aimed at young women (aged 19— <br /> 25) who do not qualify to participate in our after-school program. These workshops <br /> will engage them in a dialogue about family planning and pregnancy prevention. <br /> e) Describe the community need or problem to be addressed in relation to the Chhel <br /> Hull Human Sem sicgs O Je cr',s l-,ssessH gent, than'e C OCC Goals and II'riorities, <br /> Town of Cha+el Hill Coa rkolil Go Ws, Carrboro goals, or other community priorities <br /> (i.e. Council/Board Goals).
