Someone once said, “It takes a village to raise a child.”
Together, we are that village!

If we don’t raise future leaders, then who will?

Does your club or group…
  • Care about kids?
  • Work with teens?
  • Want to support the development of healthy teens?
  • Believe that given the information, encouragement, and support, teens can make good decisions?
  • Want to build future leaders?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we at Amplify Youth Development would be privileged to partner with you.

Today is not the same as yesterday. Teens are being influenced by popular culture to have sex at earlier ages. The media, sometimes loud and sometimes subtle, are, without a doubt, continually bombarding our children. The message is that “sex has no consequences” and that “freakiness” is cool. The results are gloomy.
  • Absorbing media with sexual content is linked to early sexual behavior.
  • 47% of teens have had vaginal sex.
  • 1 in 4 teen girls has at least one STD.
  • 30% of teen girls get pregnant at least once.
  • Early sexual activity is linked to poverty, less education, and single parenthood.
Not only that but:
  • ⅔ of sexually active teens regret their decision and wished they had waited longer.
  • Sexually active teens are more likely to attempt suicide and suffer from depression.
  • Sexually active teens are more likely to be expelled from or drop out of high school.
In a culture where “sex has no consequences” is preached, it’s obvious that the message to our children is an outright lie…a lie that has serious consequences.

Will you help us fight back? Amplify is DuPage County’s voice to bring the message of healthy sexuality to our children. Together, we can speak truth to our children so that we give them back the choice to make healthy decisions about their own futures.

There are a number of ways that you could partner with us:
  1. Host a free Parent or Teen Workshop for your community. You provide the venue and help promote awareness for the event…we will do the rest!
  2. Invite us to participate in your clubs’ events where we can gain exposure to parents and/or to teens (middle school and high school aged).
  3. Financially support programs right in your own community. We can continue to offer free programs to your community because your community supports us.
Thank you for your consideration and for your service to your community. Please contact me to schedule a presentation, for your club, or to discuss specific ways that we can partner together.
