Teen pregnancy prevention is one of many challenges DC teens face everyday, yet we can change this situation.
Teen pregnancy has adverse consequences for just about everyone.
Children of teen parents generally fare badly; teen mothers typically
do not graduate from high school and have diminished earning power;
child support is a responsibility many teen fathers can barely meet.
Families started by teens are fragile and need tremendous financial,
emotional and social support that can take resources away from other
areas. Strong communities cannot be built on such shaky foundations.
This makes teen pregnancy a problem that affects the entire city.
DC Campaign creates a solid, supportive relationship
with local programs. DC Campaign is a convener, advocate, transfer
agent for skills and best practices, and resource to help expand the
collective power of local organizations.
Since its founding in April 1999, DC Campaign has collaborated with a wide range of local partners.
If you are interested in working in partnership with DC Campaign or
need technical assistance with a project please contact Brenda Rhodes
Miller, DC Campaign executive director, by at BMiller(at)DCCampaign(dot)org or call her at 202-789-4666 extension 11.

Holmes Norton an update on the decline of the District's teen pregnancy
rate.
