National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy Resources

The ninth annual National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy is on May 5, 2010. The purpose of this day is to focus teens’ attention on the importance of avoiding teen pregnancy and other serious consequences of sex. On May 5th, teens nationwide are asked to visit StayTeen.org to participate in a number of online activities—including National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy's quiz—that deliver teen pregnancy prevention messages and challenge teens to think carefully about what they might do "in the moment." See the bottom of this page for info on what organizations in your area are doing to support the National Day!

Organized by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, the National Day has widespread support from more than 200 national organizations and media outlets who serve as official National Day partners.
