Earn While You Learn

Meet one on one with a peer counselor and learn about any or all of 115 different topics specific to pregnancy, child rearing and abstinence. These weekly classes can be booked at anytime that is convenient for you. Each class that you complete earns you an opportunity to choose an item in our Gift Shop called the “Bonus Boutique“. Don’t forget to bring the father of the baby to participate in class. We do have some EWYL classes specifically for fathers also.

Class Format

 Each week you will meet one on one with a peer counselor who will show you a video on a selected topic and give you a worksheet to fill out while you watch. After the video is complete, you get a chance to discuss your worksheet answers with your peer counselor and ask any questions you like. The peer counselor will send you home with a practical exercise to complete in time for the next weeks class.
