Purpose and HistoryAbout Us
Aim For Success has four different sexual abstinence programs. Each program has a 6th grade, 7th and 8th grade and/or a high school component. That means students can start seeing an Aim For Success presentation in the 6th grade and watch a different program each year. In 2008, Aim For Success added a new drug and alcohol prevention presentation called Power to Succeed. In the fall of 2011, Aim For Success rolled out their new anti-bullying program called Empowered to Defend. Purpose
Through Aim For Success presentations, students learn the wisdom of avoiding sexual activity until marriage. Through Parents Programs, parents are inspired to raise responsible children who understand the choices they make in life have consequences. Teachers receive creative ideas on how to implement the abstinence message into their classrooms through Staff Development Training. Success Requires Good Choices! All students will have to make a decision about sex. That decision can mean the difference between success or failure, life or death. What guidance are you providing? As teachers, administrators, and parents, you know from experience that success in life requires making the right choices when faced with difficult and confusing decisions. The question is: What are you going to do to prepare them to make good choices? Facts:
History
In 1984, Marilyn Morris was invited to speak to one of her daughters' classes about sexual abstinence. She jumped at the chance to tell teenagers what she wished someone had told her. In 1968, the beginning of her senior year in high school, Marilyn's dreams and goals were completely changed when she found out she was pregnant. She and Charles Morris were forced to grow up overnight when they were married at the age of 17 and 18. Marilyn's personal experience has given her a passion to share the sexual abstinence until marriage message. Marilyn's captivating and entertaining speaking style resulted in her giving 50 presentations to 3,745 participants in 1990. During the next few years the numbers continued to grow. In August 1993, Marilyn formed Aim For Success, Inc., as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, educational organization. She continues to serve as its President today. Marilyn's husband, Charles, now a CPA, joined Marilyn at Aim For Success in 1994 to serve as CFO. Charles and Marilyn have two grown, married daughters, and five grandchildren. In its first year (1993), Marilyn and two other Aim For Success speakers gave 526 presentations to over 30,000 people. As the years progressed, the professional speaking staff grew to meet the demands for the phenomenal growth. Today, 2 million teens, parents and educators across America have participated in an Aim For Success presentation in public schools, churches and youth organizations. This incredible growth has allowed Aim For Success to become the largest provider of sexual abstinence programs in the country.
The entertaining one-hour, live student presentations are age-appropriate and designed for 6th grade through college. The programs are fast-paced, fun and filled with games, stories and object lessons. Students can start seeing an Aim For Success presentation in the 6th grade and see a different program each year. Each presentation includes impressive PowerPoint technology. These positive, medically-accurate programs help build self-control, self-respect and self-discipline.
Aim For Success has received local, state and national recognition on radio, television and magazines such as:
