A Teen Pregnancy Prevention & Healthy Youth Development Program.
UJIMA, one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa, serves to remind us that we are responsible for not only for our welfare but also for the welfare of our families, the community, and the larger world.
The UJIMA program staff, participants and volunteers believe that in the spirit of this Kwanzaa principle, collectively we can help close the gap between the teen pregnancy rates among African-American youth and the national averages.
Our primary objectives are to reduce the rate of teen pregnancy among African-American youth, and to promote healthy youth development by fostering appropriate behaviors and lifestyles.
UJIMA's primary audience is African-American youth, ages 11-18. However, as a means of honoring this Kwanzaa principle of Collective Work and Repsonsibility, the UJIMA program involves famillies parents and other caring adults, as well as faith-baed congregations and community organizations to address teen pregnancy prevention.
