Whether the result is infection, pregnancy, or emotional
trauma, teen sex has a devastating cost. Yet, teens do
have the ability to make a choice to protect their health
and their heart.
Concerned About Teen Sexuality (C.A.T.S.) is a group of students
that believe sexual abstinence before marriage has value. The
C.A.T.S. program helps teens realize that their actions have
consequences and that their choices matter.
C.A.T.S. works with teachers to ensure that the program meets the
needs of their classes and includes appropriate and relevant information.

A Message for Teens Delivered by Teens
| "The CATS team made me realize I don’t need to have sex to prove I love someone, and I’m gonna change my ways. You guys probably saved me" - Student |
| "Because of my decision to wait, I sometimes feel out of the ordinary. It's good to know there are teens who share my views." - Student |
| "When the C.A.T.S. students show up and play games, present skits and involve students in activities that demonstrate the dangers of sexual activities, it makes everything real for my students. I am so proud of these young adults! What wonderful role models for our youth!" - Teacher |
