The mission of Oswego County BOCES APPS Project is to coordinate the provision of high quality and innovative Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention and Services strategies for the residents of the county. Our intervention strategies will focus on the reduction of premature sexual activity and parenthood, which present potential long term medical, social, economic and psychological problems to adolescents, their families, the children they bear and society at large.

Oswego County BOCES provides counseling and education on human sexuality and health issues to students in area schools. Services are confidential.

Oswego County BOCES APPS has been a great success. We have seen teen pregnancy rates drop faster than the national and state averages and we have dramatically increased teen prenatal care. As a result, fewer teens are becoming pregnant and those who do are having healthier births.
