No Kidding: Straight Talk from Teen Parents is a peer education program supported through community collaborators in which teen parents encourage high schools students to delay becoming parents until later in life.
No Kidding provides presentations for 9th -12th graders on the rights, responsibilities, and realities of young parenting, including issues related to child support and paternity. No Kidding peer educators or interns are teen fathers and mothers who present at schools telling their stories to promote and encourage students to postpone having children until they are financially and emotionally ready to have children with a loving partner.
If you or someone you know would be a great No Kidding intern and are between the ages of 16-21, please contact Eileen Huereque at 562-7955 extension 218 or ehuereque@childcrisiselp.org.
No Kidding El Paso is supported by the Paso del Norte Health Foundation under the Two Should Know Initiative, Office of Attorney General, Upper Rio Grande at Work, SISD, and the Child Crisis Center of El Paso.
