Classes Aimed at Reducing Teen Pregnancy to Begin
A series of free classes aimed at reducing teen pregnancy and its accompanying problems is scheduled to begin next month in Montebello Unified School District schools.
Project organizers, including several community-based groups, are inviting children as young as 9 to participate with their parents and grandparents in courses ranging from sex refusal skills to techniques for relaxing tensions in the home.
The classes, which are open to all residents in the school district, are being funded by a three-year, $555,000 state grant combined with nearly $100,000 from local organizations.
Most of the project’s first round of classes are set to begin between Oct. 14 and 21, and conclude in late November.
Information: (213) 887-7900, Ext. 2281.
