in Charleston County, CCTPPC provides a leadership and advocacy infrastructure. Integrity and caring are hallmarks of this
effort, showing respect for diverse convictions and opinions. CCTPPC, while embracing best practices, will be good stewards

the quality of life in the Charleston community. To achieve this mission, CCTPPC's focus is to increase public awareness
of the impact of teenage pregnancy on the adolescent, the family, and the community; to advocate public policy supporting
the reduction of teenage pregnancies through making available medically accurate sexuality and prevention education; and to
promote safe and equal access to pregnancy prevention services.
