Genesister
GENESISTER is a pregnancy prevention program for the siblings of pregnant and parenting teens in Boulder County. It is a partner program to the award-winning GENESIS Program for pregnant and parenting teens. GENESISTER was developed in response to the high number of GENESIS siblings who become teen parents themselves.
Bilingual youth from the Longmont and Boulder Genesisters program have participated in Media Gardens Radio Production & Storytelling Workshop, visiting the KGNU studios to learn about the awesome world of community radio. During the Radio Production & Storytelling Workshops, girls between the ages of 13 and 16 learned to use the basic tools for radio production and developed stories that voiced their experiences, thoughts, dreams and passions.
