About Us Founded in 1995, Heritage Community Services' programs utilize The Heritage MethodSM, a logic model that addresses the risky behavior of adolescents from the perspective of changing the behavior that is causing the problem rather that dealing with the consequences of the risky actions. |
The Heritage MethodSM is a systemic approach that through the use of our programs is designed to saturate whole communities with effective resources to help young people develop good character, abstain from risky behaviors, and prepare for marriage and family life. This method, which is a character-based systemic approach to risk avoidance, has been developed on a foundation of sound theory and methodology. Analysis of 2000 program students has shown that, compared with 8000 similar pre-program students, students in the program initiate sexual activity at a rate 42% lower than those not in the program after a 450 minute course, and 72% lower when they have had the course twice. These are measured a year after the program is over. Our results are being prepared for publication.
