The Carrera Model applies a comprehensive approach in delivering services to youth and families in communities.  The model aims to address the multiplicity of issues that increase the likelihood of parenthood among youth in vulnerable communities.  The model has seven key components that address the multiple facets of young people’s lives, including family support, comprehensive sexuality education, access to care, academic support and enrichment, recreational and creative opportunities, mentoring and community service engagement, and continued education opportunities.  The programs in the model run concurrently to address the whole person.  The goal is to generate genuine life changes in youth by reducing hopelessness and increasing motivation.
