2017 Linking TANF Families to Employment and Economic Opportunities Meeting: Preventing Teen Pregnancies: The Importance of Evidence Based Programming

The Office of Family Assistance (OFA) held the Linking Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Families to Employment and Economic Opportunities Meeting in August 2017. This meeting allowed TANF program representatives from around the country the opportunity to learn about promising practices and actionable implementation strategies to improve employment outcomes and economic independence among TANF families. This session offers popular curriculum models for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention program grantees, including abstinence education and Personal Responsibility Education Program, one of the largest federally funded programs designed to address adolescent pregnancy and prepare youth for successful transition to adulthood.
