About Us
Romance Academy is a revolutionary relationships project that tackles teen pregnancy and underage sex head on.
We address the underlying causes of risky youth behaviour such as, poor self-esteem, low aspirations and lack of positive family/community life by promoting the value of stable relationships through our unique 14-week intervention project.
Our aim is not just to encourage young people to delay sexual activity, nor do we simply point them in the direction of contraception. Our aim is to give our young people the tools to make intelligent choices around sex and relationships.
Take a look at our Vision and Values.
Where we began
Romance Academy was co-founded by Youth Worker, Rachel Gardner after appearing in the 2005 BBC documentary, No Sex Please We're Teenagers. Our small but magnificent team have since been working hard to ensure that the programmes success did not stop at the original twelve teenagers.
