We are the EDGE
The mission of the EDGE is to equip adolescents with the knowledge and support to abstain from risky behaviors including sexual activity.
What Is The Edge?
The EDGE is a risk-avoidance education program that has served Rhea and surrounding counties for more than 30 years. We teach what we believe. Decisions have consequences. And those decisions don't just affect the one making the decision, but they also impact other people, now and even in the future.
Who is The Edge for?
The EDGE is for teens. And pre-teens. And parents. And parenting adults. And educators. And community members that want the best for youth. The EDGE is for teens, preteens, parents, parenting adults, educators and those who want the best for our youth. So, really, The EDGE is for anyone.
How Does The Edge Work?
The EDGE offers healthy-choices education in a variety of settings, including public and private schools, churches and community organizations. In addition, The EDGE offers small-group mentoring and character development. The EDGE staff members hold college degrees, as well as national certifications, and have more than 20 years experience working with youth. Topics include healthy relationship choices, internet and social media safety, goal setting, healthy boundaries and others.
