MI's Program in Action

MI is funded to provide Capacity-Building Assistance for Promoting Sexual Abstinence: Parental Involvement in Education.

  • Completing a curriculum, Building Family Connections, for educating parenting adults, especially those in high-risk minority populations, about sexual health and ways to improve the health of at-risk youth. The curriculum is based on the Spanish-language sexual health curriculum for grandparents [La salud de mis nietos es primero (The Health of My Grandchildren Comes First)].
     
  • Training World Vision, Inc., master trainers and other health educators from established local community and faith-based organizations to implement the curriculum in their communities.
     
  • Training parents, grandparents, and other adults who care for children in high-risk communities.
