About the Charity

Having twice met and exceeded its goal of cutting teen pregnancy in half (the current rate is 31.7 per thousand girls ages 15-19, an astonishing 79.2% reduction) DC Campaign looks to cut the rate further � because young mothers drop out of school, abuse and neglect of children rises, sons of teen mothers are far likelier to enter the criminal justice system and daughters to become mothers before their time. So DC Campaign teaches low-income parents how to talk to their children about love, sex, values and relationships. For teens it conducts town halls to dispel myths, provide accurate information about sexuality and contraception, and ... to listen. It collects and shares data to inform policy and enlists the media to spread the word. Surely we should not rest until our nation's capital can report the lowest teen pregnancy rate in the country.
