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.

Thank you to all of our No Kidding Program Staff and
Teen Parent Peer Educators who poured their time and
hearts into the No Kidding Program this past year!
After a very successful year, grant funding for this
program has unfortunately ended. We are actively
seeking additional funding to reinstate this program,
and may provide this program with volunteer support
until then.
