ACT – Community Action of Orleans & Genesee

ACT
Helping Youth ACT Responsibly

ACT is funded through the NYS Department of Health’s CAPP Project. We provide the 6 – 8 hour evidence-based curriculum, “Making Proud Choices”, to groups of youth in Orleans & Genesee Counties. By partnering with School Districts and community organizations, we educate youth (11 to 21 years old) on responsible sexual health, free of charge. Contact us to discuss curriculum details and how we may meet your needs.

Through the curriculum implementation, ACT strives to empower youth with knowledge to:

Effectively Community With Your Partner
Make Responsible Decisions
Delay Initial Sexual Encounter
Lower Their Risk of Teen Pregnancies
Reduce The Risk Of Sexually Transmitted Diseases / Infections

Due to the pandemic, a virtual version of the curriculum has been developed.

ACT can provide presentations in the community on local statistics, risky behaviors, consent, relationships, internet safety, communication and access to local sexual health care services.
