IMAGINE - Georgia could save taxpayers $465 million a year, help lift families out of poverty, significantly improve the state’s high school graduation rate, and put some of Georgia’s most vulnerable young people on the path to long-term success by addressing one issue.
That issue is teen pregnancy prevention. Teen pregnancy fuels the cycle of poverty and unemployment; it becomes a tremendous barrier to a young person’s advancement on every level, and comes at a very high cost to the children, the teen parents, all of us. And one way or another we all pay. G-CAPP works every day to break this cycle. We hope you join us in this life-changing work.
Georgia has the 13th highest teen pregnancy rate in the country. Stopping teen pregnancy often starts by changing circumstances and inspiring young people. One of G-CAPP's primary roles as a statewide organization is advocating for policies that support Georgia's most vulnerable youth and their families. Click on the map to see your county data.
