About Us

 
The Brockton Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program (BTPPP) is funded by a grant through the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to provide science-based sexuality education to Brockton youth. 

We offer science-based prevention programs, strengthening families programs and education and training for the Brockton community free of charge.

At the BTPPP we have the flexibility and experience to meet the needs of the youth we are serving, from delivering Making Proud Choices in public middle and high schools, to facilitating pregnancy and STD prevention workshops at community-based organizations. We’re here to help!
