- The Minnesota Organization on Adolescent Pregnancy, Prevention and Parenting (MOAPPP) recognized the Aqui Para Ti Program on May 7 with its Community Partner of the Year Award, which is given to a person or program that has contributed to public understanding and dialogue of adolescent sexual health, pregnancy prevention and parent support.
Aqui Para Ti was chosen for their work to help parents understand the important role they play in their child's life around these issues, and because the program is a voice for these issues in the Latino community. Congratulations!
