Founded in its current name three years ago, Amplify Youth Development is a non-profit organization aiming to educate teens in the Chicagoland area about healthy lifestyle and relationship choices. This goal is reached through outreach programs at area schools that attempt to demonstrate the advantages of abstinence until marriage. Programs include five- and ten-day education sessions, training programs for parents and after school events. Amplify is affiliated with the Carenet Pregnancy Center.
