Programs
Educational programs for your teen that incorporate the fundamental characteristics of Positive Youth Development.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
The Idaho APP Program coordinates with agencies, educational organizations, and other partners throughout the state to provide adolescents with resources concerning their sexual health. The APP educational programs incorporate the fundamental characteristics of Positive Youth Development (PYD). PYD is a comprehensive framework outlining the support young people need to be successful. PYD emphasizes youth’s strengths rather than risk factors to ensure all youth grow up to be contributing adults.

Activities include skill building lessons in refusal skills, negotiation, and active communication. The goal of Reducing the Risk is to prepare youth for their sexual future while reducing the incidence of unprotected sex.
Wise Guys
Wise Guys focuses on engaging males ages 15-17 by providing a sequence of informal lessons that teach reproductive health as well as life lessons such as values, goal setting, and positive decision making. This program provides a fun learning environment that encourages sharing within a group setting.
