Heritage Keepers Abstinence Education

The Heritage Keepers Abstinence Education I and II are each 450 minute curricula developed to equip and empower adolescents to abstain from sexual activity outside of marriage. They can be effectively implemented as stand alone programs, or used as part of a more systemic process model with additional school and community-based components.

 

 

Heritage Keepers Life Skills Education

The Heritage Keepers Life Skills Education is intended to be a maintenance program for the Heritage Keepers Abstinence Education 450 minute curricula developed to equip and empower adolescents to abstain from sexual activity outside of marriage. It is part of our systemic process model.

 

 

Parent Education

Heritage Community Services' Parent Education includes a service-oriented strategy of going into the homes of parents, meeting them in a small group setting, or having a public meeting to promote character-based life skills education within families. Parents are encouraged to form a network of support in the community to discourage risky behavior and encourage abstinence outside of marriage. This network of parental support will ideally consist of the parents of children who are friends.

 

 

Faith Community Education

Providing Faith Community Education is a significant aspect of reducing adolescent sexual activity within a community. Heritage Community Services is primarily interested in providing training and resources for faith leaders so they can, in turn, provide training for those in their congregations.

 

 

Marriage Initiatives

Our marriage initiatives invlove providing resources, training and technical assistance on the benefits of marriage, preparation for marriage, as well as enriching and strenthening existing marriages.

Our goals are to reduce the number of divorces, never married families, and cohabitating couples by preparing couples for a life long healthy marriage.
