Our Approach

Training

A strong culture of learning drives everything we do. We believe organizations and educators who commit to continuous learning are positioned to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of adolescent health. Fact Forward has been conducting training for over 30 years and is nationally recognized as a leader in evidence-based education. We train youth-supporting professionals of all kinds, as well as parents and other trusted adults.

Youth Education

Just like young people themselves, the education they receive should be tailored to their unique needs. In addition to offering a range of evidence-based programs, Fact Forward provides customized learning experiences designed to meet the specific goals, challenges, and strengths of the youth you serve.

Public Awareness

Public Awareness is a strategic effort to bring critical issues to the forefront of a community’s attention. At Fact Forward, this means elevating conversations about adolescent health and wellbeing in ways that are engaging, accessible, and actionable. From youth-led campaigns to our social media outreach and faith-based partnerships, our goal is not simply to inform, but to inspire action. Currently, our Major Initiatives are National Mentoring Month, Let’s Talk Month, and National Adolescent Health Month.  Fact Forward’s Focus Areas guide the content we prioritize and the conversations we elevate. Our toolkits are designed to bridge knowledge and practice—turning research into real-world application that strengthens programs, policies, and youth outcomes.

Advocacy

We advance adolescent health and wellbeing by engaging youth, faith leaders, educators, policymakers, and communities in meaningful solutions. Through advisory councils, youth leadership initiatives, and advocacy efforts, we help shape identity-affirming approaches and strengthen policies that support young people.
