Success Stories

What facilitators are saying:

“Teens particularly enjoyed the interactive nature of this curriculum, and many were willing to give the program a try because it was something they could do on a computer and it featured technology applications relevant to their everyday lives...our organization engaged a number of middle and high school age males in experiences that helped them learn about taking responsibility of their actions as they progress from adolescence into adulthood.”
Johanna Wicklund, Diretor of Program Development & Evaluation
Boys and Girls Club of Green Bay (Green Bay, WI)

"So far this year we have had no teen pregnancies in the club.  Last year we had three.  The [Boyz 2 Dads] content was great."
Melinda Milam
Boys and Girls Club of the Alma Area (Alma, AR)

"The game is a good ice breaker.  Our sites conducted pre/post tests and the excellent news is that 100% of these boys reported that they had either changed their minds about pre-marital sex or felt they could better cope with the pressures to have it."
Lucy O'Donnell, Executive Director
Delaware Adolescent Program, Inc. (Wilmington, DE)
