Galveston County Teen Parenting Coalition

The Galveston County Teen Parenting Coalition (GCTPC) is a private non-profit 501(c)3 organization created to bring together other organizations and individuals in the Galveston County area concerned about issues of adolescent pregnancy and parenthood. The United States has the highest rates of teen pregnancy and births in the Western industrialized world. Teen pregnancy costs the United States at least $7 billion annually.  Your teen wants to hear from you. Seven of ten teens interviewed said that they were ready to listen to things parents thought they were not ready to hear.
