Program Overview
The Wyoming Personal Responsibility and Education Program (WyPREP) is 100% federally funded. The curricula used for the program are evidence-based and medically accurate. Curricula facilitators can and are encouraged to include additional topics such as parent-child communication, healthy relationships, adolescent development, financial literacy, educational and career success, and healthy life skills, in addition to teen pregnancy and STI/HIV prevention programming. The program is delivered in school and community-based settings.
