Public Schools
When Generation Life delivers the message to young people in public schools, we appeal to the students on four levels: physical, emotional, psychological and social. Generation Life chastity educators always teach the benefits of saving sexually intimate acts for marriage by explaining the consequences of a decision to engage in pre-marital sexual activity.
Generation Life prides itself on honoring the walls of the institution which has extended us an invitation. In the public schools, we never bring into our presentation any faith based material or content. Generation Life believes that best message for young people when it comes to their sexual health is the message of chastity, not because of a religion, but because it is 100% safe and guaranteed proven to work!
A brief summary of the organization
And impact in public schools
A movement of young people committed to building a culture of life by spreading the messages of life and love to our peers and developing young leaders to impact their generation with these messages.
Generation Life officially began its outreach to youth with a summer leadership conference at Drexel University during the summer of 2000. At this conference 200 students rallied together to form the first group of Gen Lifers in the Southeastern Pennsylvania area. Based on the success of this conference, the leadership at Generation Life decided that it was necessary to outreach to youth on a more fulltime basis. So in the fall of 2001, following a second successful summer leadership conference at Villanova University, Generation Life began to outreach to area schools (public, private and parochial) with the hiring of a fulltime workforce. Since 2001, Generation Life has invited over 100,000 young people throughout the Philadelphia and tri-state area to embrace the message of saving sex for marriage.
