Earn While You Learn (EWYL)
Classes are free for moms and dads. Earn Parenting Points for attending classes and completing homework, and then use your points in our Parenting Shop to buy baby items, furniture, maternity clothes, and diapers.
Five points are earned just for coming to your first appointment and visiting with a lay counselor. Double points are awarded when the baby’s father comes with the baby’s mother, and points are also awarded when the father attends classes and completes homework. Also, once the mother completes the program, we will give her a Boy or Girl bag during her 3rd trimester.
After your receive your Parenting Points, all completed worksheets and homework are returned for your reference.
The Earn While You Learn program is huge! We have over 600 different lessons, and most classes only take about 30-40 minutes.
Schedule an appointmentSexual Integrity for Young Teens
Most teens are unaware of the many risks of premarital sex. The side effects/unintended consequences negatively affect both girls and boys, but mostly girls. Females suffer far more from the possibility of long term physical damage. There are also emotional and spiritual consequences, as well as damage to one’s self esteem.
Any genital contact, including oral and anal sex, can result in a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD), some of which cannot be cured. New Beginnings offers lessons in a large variety of topics, including but not limited to: Is Casual Sex worth the Risk? Condoms: At What Risk? Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Herpes, HIV-Aids, Peer Pressure, Sexual Roulette, Sex Was never meant to kill you, Silent Epidemic, STD’s and Pregnancy, Stop and Think, and much more.
