Marilyn Morris is the founder
and president of Aim For Success, Inc which is the largest provider
of abstinence education programs in the United States.
Marilyn began speaking to students about abstinence in 1984 and
founded Aim For Success in 1993. She started Aim For Success in an
effort to help teenagers avoid some of the difficult consequences
she experienced as a teen. Marilyn had to grow up overnight when at
17 she became pregnant and got married during her senior year in
high school. She and Charles have now been married for over 40 years
and have two daughters and five grandchildren.
To date Aim For Success speakers have educated and encouraged two
million teenagers, parents and educators about the importance of
making wise choices about sex, drugs and alcohol so they can achieve
their dreams and goals.
Marilyn has been featured on The Discovery Channel, National Public
Radio (NPR), Fox News-New York, The Jane Pauley Show and in
Rolling Stone Magazine. Marilyn has received recognition from
Dr. Laura, Focus on the Family, and President George W. Bush.
