Tulsa Carrera Program

Tulsa Carrera Program The Tulsa Carrera Program at Union Public Schools is a holistic evidence-based, teen pregnancy preve Developed in 1984 by Dr. Michael A.

Carrera and The Children’s Aid Society (CAS), the CAS-Carrera program is an evidenced-based, primary adolescent pregnancy prevention program. The goal is to help young people avoid becoming parents during the second decade of their lives. The program is guided by a philosophy that sees youth as “at-promise” and not “at-risk”; its holistic, “above the waist” approach to teen pregnancy prevention he

lps young people make healthy decisions and cultivate aspirations for a productive future. CAS-Carrera works with young people 11-12 years old and follows them through high school graduation and beyond. The program model is integrated within a public or charter school day working with succeeding grades each year until all grades, 6-12 are receiving the model. The approach also includes a summer program. In 2011, a unique partnership was forged between the Community Service Council (CSC), the Children’s Aid Society (CAS)-Carrera Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program, Union Public Schools (UPS) and the George Kaiser Family Foundation (GKFF) to bring the “top-tier” evidence-based CAS-Carrera program to Tulsa. The implementation of the Tulsa Carrera Program is a concrete strategy toward the Union Public Schools articulated goal of 100% graduation, 100% college and career readiness.

We took two great campus tours today! First stop, Oklahoma Christian University. Then, on to lunch, dorm tours, information about the forensics department, and Q and A with admissions at University of Central Oklahoma.

We are so proud of our students and all of the ways they are preparing for their futures. They asked thoughtful and intelligent questions at both schools. Many are far ahead of their peers when it comes to college knowledge, planning, and maturity!

Thanks to both schools for hosting us today! These are two of the many great college options right here in OK!

It's summer vacation, but our students are still focused on preparing for their futures!

A group of rising 8th-12th graders toured The University of Tulsa today and learned more about this outstanding university that is right here in our own city! TU offers exceptional programs and lots of scholarship opportunities. Even with the rain, we had a great shuttle tour of the campus and received great information from their admissions department. We may have some future TU students in this group!

Check out our young entrepreneurs! These 7th grade students have been working hard all year, building their businesses. While we have lots of students who have various small businesses, these two showcased and sold their products at family night.

We have Khia Berry's Bracelets and Makayla's aprons! Both products are high quality and well-made by the students themselves.

If you want more information, would like to connect with our entrepreneurs to order, or have a connection with local businesses who could help our students market or sell their products, please contact our office at 918-357-8095!
