Live Free: Beyond Education
From the Desk of . . .
Gabriella Motter, Educator, SRAS
Hi there! My name is Gabriella Motter, and I am one of the Educators with Live Free. There are many of you that are subscribed to our monthly newsletter and many friends who have recently joined us. I’d like to use this post to reintroduce who we are and to update you all on some new things happening within our organization!
Why Teach Abstinence???
Live Free exists to equip youth to live free from the damaging consequences of sexual activity outside of marriage and to make choices consistent with their values.
What We Are All About….
Live Free is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that partners with schools and other youth organizations to provide students with the truth concerning the risks of teen sexual activity. Culture, media, and peers may mislead youth to think that sexual activity is without consequence. We give them the truth with a positive, holistic, and medically-accurate message.
What is SRAE???
SRAE stands for Sexual Risk Avoidance Education. Abstinence WORKS. The National Abstinence Education Association (NAEA) has identified 17 abstinence programs evaluated by independent researchers that demonstrate significant reductions in teen sex. Not only does Live Free Inc. teach the benefits of abstinence for risk avoidance, but also the benefits of marriage as a worthwhile and attainable goal for sexual activity. Choosing the Best (the curriculum taught through Live Free) is one of the programs cited in the NAEA report that demonstrated improved teen outcomes. Most parents support the sexual risk avoidance (abstinence) approach to sex education for their children.
Recently we updated our website! We have TONS of information available to help parents, schools, donors, and many others better understand our services!
On our website you will find…
· Information About our Staff and Educators
· Why Teach Abstinence?
· Information About our 5 Different Curriculums
· Testimonials
· The Opportunity to Donate
· So Much More!
One of the most rewarding and inspiring aspects of what we do is hearing from our students how our program has impacted their lives.
“This program affected me personally because now I think about what it’s like to live life beautifully without having sex. I can still love and trust and be happy in my relationships with no sexual intercourse”
