Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
SHAPE (Sexual Health And Peer Education)
Sexual Health And Peer Education Program (SHAPE), Teen emPower!'s innovative peer education program model, recruits and trains high school students to serve as presentation teams for classroom lessons on social and peer pressure, media messages, and assertiveness skills for 7th grade students. Using older teens as facilitators creates a positive and powerful impression on the middle school participants, because they feel the older teens can relate to their lives and experiences. Evaluations have consistently highlighted the use of peer educators as an important factor in the success and impact of the SHAPE program.
The SHAPE peer education program:
• Uses well-trained, local high school students to present information to middle school youth in ways that are engaging, realistic, and authentic, which increase the student’s consumption of the material.
• Provides content that is relevant and developmentally appropriate for the young audience to receive and for peer educators to facilitate.
• Involves careful planning in selecting and training peer educators.
• Includes on-going monitoring and support of the program facilitation and content delivery by an experienced adult educator.
• Is an exceptional learning experience for both the middle school participants and the peer educators, as they gain knowledge, skills, and confidence, while modeling positive health attitudes and behaviors
REACH (Reproductive Education And Community Health)
Teen emPower! is one of two major program delivery partners for REACH, a federally-funded project designed to improve adolescent health and reduce teen pregnancy by providing effective health education programs, youth-designed support services, and related youth engagement activities. Program sites are the middle and high schools located in a 7-zip code geographic area in Oklahoma County that includes three school districts: Crooked Oak, Mid-Del, and OKCPS. REACH puts youth at the center of this school-based initiative as leaders and true partners in its prevention, health promotion, and youth development activities.
