PALABRA program is linked to the Big Picture work through Enrique Gonzalez... "When you start to personalize the education of a young person, you think up other ways to build character....like PALABRA"

Hombres Jovenes con Palabra (Young Men with Credible Word)
The Hombres Jovenes con Palabra is a 10 session culturally based prevention/education program that focuses on male responsibility, pregnancy prevention and relationship violence prevention.

Jerry at minute 6:

Honor women -- our mothers, daughters, companeras, grandmothers.
We cannot truly be men until we honor and respect women.
Honor their sacredness.
Walk beside them.
They gave us life.    They sacrificed, they lent us their blood, They give us their breathe, they feed us with their bodies.  They nurture us with their milk.













The PALABRA program is used in Highland Park High School
