NEW JERSEY PHYSICIANS ADVISORY GROUP INC

Description

We are a small non-profit with a volunteer President and Board of 7 people. Our YES You Can! risk-avoidance curricula, impacting 5th-12th grades, is being used in over 250 NJ public schools and 8 additional states.

Our goal is to have well trained school health educators confident in their ability to empower young people with the understanding, and the skills needed, to avoid high-risk behaviors including early sexual involvement.

We hold grant opportunities allowing schools to receive our health curricula at no cost, and to attend our full day health conferences throughout NJ. We have begun expanding this service beyond NJ and have found great interest. We are now working to see how we can assist school health departments nationally.
