PROJECT H.E.A.R.T.S.

The mission of Project H.E.A.R.T.S is to strengthen and uplift the youth of Frederick County through programming and networks that promote healthy relationships and sexuality. At every grade level, we use developmentally appropriate language to teach consent and help youth spot and respond to the ten signs of healthy and unhealthy relationships.

Project H.E.A.R.T.S. is approved by the Frederick County Public School (FCPS) system.
