Teens play a critical role in our program efforts to reduce teen pregnancy rates. Currently, the UT Teen Health Youth Leadership Council (YLC) is actively engaged in their communities as advocates for healthy sexual choices. YLC members have created media, participated in leadership development, gained the skills and education needed to make healthy decisions now and for their futures.
The YLC is made up of high school students from all over Bexar County that serve as youth advisors to the UT Teen Health initiative at UT Health San Antonio. We promote positive youth development and teen pregnancy prevention through education and awareness.
