We would like to take this time to highlight three amazing Senior high school students from Luther Burbank High School. These individuals took the time to learn about Chicks in Crisis and invited us to the high school campus to raise awareness among their peers about Teen Pregnancy! We appreciate these forward thinkers for being leaders and their willingness to educate those around them on such sensitive subjects.
