The Rights, Respect & Responsibility Program (3Rs) is a school-based, comprehensive sexual health program that provides education to increase students’ knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors associated with health decision-making.
Vance County High School juniors and seniors are taught assignments on healthy relationships, abstinence, how to reduce risk factors for sexually transmitted infections, HIV, sex trafficking, and unintended pregnancy. 3R’s follows the National Sexuality Education Standards for what students should learn and be able to do at each grade level, and it is inclusive of learners of all genders and sexual orientations.
In Vance County 3R’s is led by two of our staff, Shante’ Speed Hargrove and La’Shanda Person, who implement the program at Vance County High School. The student leaders involved in the program have the opportunity to visit the Vance County Health Department twice a semester during their school day to be informed of services offered at the health department and be seen for services, if needed.
Our staff recruits students who are interested in serving their school and communities as role models once per semester. Interested students will need to complete an application to be considered. Applications will be made available electronically during the recruitment process.
