What is Empower ARC?
Empower ARC (formerly the Abstinence Resource Center) is designed to provide public and private schools, and community organizations with dynamic speakers, small group curriculum, and professional educational materials on how to deal with today’s outside pressures, teach youth about sex and how to be truly safe by choosing abstinence. Empower ARC is based out of the Minneapolis and St. Paul areas of Minnesota.
Each school year we speak to approximately 18,000 students! Our speaker team shares this inspiring message of abstinence through more than 450 presentations at an average of 66 different schools/venues each year.
After an Empower ARC presentation, 43% of students who said they had previously been sexually active or undecided about being sexually active indicated a changed heart towards choosing or reconsidering abstinence.
Our Mission
We exist to empower students to choose abstinence until marriage, by providing dynamic speakers and relevant resources that affirm abstinence as the safest and most beneficial option.
