My Family Does Matter for Youth is based on the principles of youth development, an approach that provides teens with the necessary support and opportunities to prepare for successful adulthood and avoid problematic behavior. It also consists of a series of workshops that address prevention of teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and also gives teens an opportunity to talk about peer pressure and self-esteem. This youth program also produces an abstinence-themed play, "Haz la Diferencia" (Make a Difference), with community teens serving as the cast.
