At the heart of the Romance Academy is the belief that every young person is valuable with a unique contribution to the group. They have the right to access the facts about relationships and sex as well as the support of peers and adults to resist the pressure to be sexually active.
The Romance Academy is not about delivering teenagers into adulthood free from STIs and unwanted pregnancies. We hope to invest the time, information, support and values that sees them entering adulthood stronger, wiser and able to find happiness and success in their relationships.
