The Carrollton Housing Authority Abstinence Education Program (AEP) is an abstinence until marriage education program specifically designed for adolescents and teenagers between the ages of 10 and 19. This project was supported in part by the Governor's Office for Children and Families through state funds from the Georgia General Assembly and federal funds from the Title V Abstinence Education Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Children and Families, Family and Youth Services Bureau.

The primary purpose of the AEP is to provide holistic abstinence education to adolescents and teens in a safe, teen friendly, nonjudgmental environment.  In addition to abstinence education, the program also provides character education, refusal skills training, youth development, and education on setting goals and planning for the future.

AEP participants can look forward to a caring and knowledgeable staff, informative topic and discussion, tutoring and homework help, arts & crafts activities, recreational outings, an after school snack (lunch on Saturdays), community involvement, and bi-monthly field trips to museums, festivals, parades, collegiate and professional sporting events, theatrical performances and much more.
