The Pure Freedom Program

Pure Freedom is a sexual risk avoidance & relationship education program based on the community saturation model. The key component of this program is a three-day workshop offered to 6th, 7th, 8th, and high school audiences. The Sexual Risk Avoidance (SRA) educational model is a national movement to encourage teens to wait for sex and stands on the truths that delaying sex until marriage provides men and women with the greatest chance at optimal physical health, successful relationships, and socioeconomic stability. Pure Freedom utilizes this model to help students understand what real love is, how to create boundaries that protect them and their peers, how to identify abuse, how the human body works, how STDs spread, and ultimately, how beyond-valuable they are.
