Introduction
What is a community? A community is a group of people that inhibit the same area or neighborhood; they are a group of people bond by social, religious, cultural, race, economic, ethnic and professional ties. Examples of that would be the church community, African American community, educational community, homeless community, homosexual community, business community, medical community, and the elderly community. This paper will highlight the workings of the organization Women Accepting Responsibility and the service it provides to its neighboring community. Also the paper gives a breakdown of the community’s population, race, economical state, health trend and educational overview.

This program targets adolescent boys and girls in middle and high school. Women Accepting Responsibility understands that our youth is in dire need of a program that can teach the adolescents of those community proper behaviors that will aid in eliminating the negative statistics that has befallen those of the community. When I say negative statistics it’s geared toward the negative repercussion caused by teenage pregnancy. An example would be when a teen (age 15-18) discovers that she is pregnant she is forced to come to the reality of she is to financial to support the child, so this leads her to drop out of school and begin working a minimum paying job not to mention she is receiving other form of welfare like food-stamps, she lives in a government assisted housing, depending heavily on the government for ¾TH of her income. And by the time her first child is about two or three she learns that she is pregnant again, an event that will repeat itself two or three more times thus falling deeper and deeper in poverty creating generations of poverty stricken families. But because KIP/BART sees this as an issues within the community they teach adolescent to engage in safe behavior if he/she is sexually active, the program teaches accurate information about HIV/AIDS and other STIs, they learn effective communication skills, they learn about the
