The Urban Life Training Program is an abstinence-centered education program. The program consists of three parts:
1. Classroom Relationship Intelligence Education
2. Peer Counseling
3. STAR (Students Teaching Abstinence and Responsibility) Leadership Clubs
Richard Urban overviews the program as a practical way to address the core issue of family breakdown and to help youth succeed.
Category: Marriage
God must come first for any solution to the world’s problems to happen. Furthermore, Richard discusses how the Unification Principle, revealed by Rev. Sun Myung Moon, presents a Biblical worldview with additional insight and understanding.
A core understanding is that The Human Fall involved a premature sexual relationship. This understanding helps us to understand the world’s problems, and specifically the rampant sexual confusion and corruption.

The Strengthening Families and Communities Forum is part of the Peaceful Families; Peaceful World workshop, sponsored by Visionroot.
With family breakdown and sexual confusion accelerating, causing harm to our children, what can be done?
Speakers:
Patti Hidalgo Menders is as a Loudoun Mom of Six Sons, a Daughter to parents who escaped communist Cuba and a Loudoun Advocate that continues to protect children from CRT and other progressive ideologies.
She is the Community Liaison Officer in Northern Virginia for the Office of the Virginia Attorney General, Jason Miyares.
Richard Urban is Co-founder, VisionRoot, Urban Life Training and Urban Grocery. Richard has been teaching abstinence-centered curricula and organizing clubs for middle and high school youth in Washington DC and elsewhere since 2002.
Family breakdown is the factor driving all other problems in society. But why has rapid family breakdown and gender confusion occurred, especially in the last 15 years? Richard dives deeper into this critical issue.
Michael Marshall, Editor Emeritus of UPI explains how progressives routinely ignore the numerous benefits for child welfare of marriage between a man and a woman. Instead, they focus on whatever makes the two partners of whatever type happy.
Children are the losers in this new paradigm.

There is only one way to break the generational cycle of out of wedlock birth.
We must teach youth the benefits of sexual abstinence before marriage.
This will help them to achieve success and happiness.
April gives many statistics plus helpful information to help youth and young adults achieve the goal of successful marriage and family life. Abstinence from sex before marriage is a big part of forming a happy and successful family.
