The Commission on Population (POPCOM) is the country's response in pursuing the overall objective of contributing to the improvement and promotion of the total well-being of adolescents. In particular, the AHD program aims to reduce the incidence of STI and HIV-AIDS, teenage pregnancy and other risky and non-risky adolescent sexual behaviors thru responsible adolescent sexuality and reproductive health campaigns. One of the means of assistance to in-school and out of school adolescents is the establishment of School-based Teen Centers and Community-based Teen Centers. The teen centers complement and reinforce the role of schools in educating, counseling and empowering the students. Teen centers are potent sources of information and learning aid for skills building or simply places for recreation or socialization after school hours.
This year's Available slots; 8 slots for Community/Barangay-based Teen Center. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. For inquiries please visit Nutrition/Popcom Section, DSWD/MSWDO building second floor. Thank you! 😇
