Introducing the United Parents for Abstinence Education Campaign

The goal of UPAE is to mobilize 100,000 parents across America to become active supporters of abstinence education at a local, state and national level. UPAE will provide NAEA member organizations a process for:

• Recruiting parents to become a part of UPAE.
  
  
• Increasing the number of parents supporting your local program through a “social-networking” interactive computer system.
  
  
• Receiving more financial support for your local program.
  
  
• Mobilizing parents to make timely and critical communications supporting abstinence education to local, state and national officials.
