Our Staff

Sharde Morris-Tate:

I am the Program Coordinator for AAPP. I have been educating for over two years and it is a very rewarding position! What I love most about being an educator is the look on the faces of the youth when they’ve learned something new and their growing curiosity for knowledge and understanding at every session. When it comes to educating the youth, I like the quote “Never be afraid of not knowing. Find out.” -Lauryn Hill, it exemplifies the fearlessness of a young mind learning new information to benefit their future!

Royal Mason:

Christiana Care Health Care Educator/AAPP/Wise Guys. I have been doing the Wise Guys program for AAPP (Alliance for Adolescence Pregnancy Prevention) for the past 12 years. Educating primarily youth from the ages of 11-18 yrs. Educating in the area healthy relationships, selfcare, and future goals. Currently, expanding Wise Guys Curriculum into helping older adults who have been restricted from society. I live by: “Wisdom is the principle thing. Get Wisdom and get understanding.”

Keith Boger:

I've been a community educator for AAPP since 2012. I am certified to teach Wise Guys and Be Proud Be Responsible. I prefer Wise Guys because it affords me an opportunity to interact with young people. My motto is "Lead by Example".

Amber Miller:

I am the newest Community Educator to the AAPP team! I come from a clinical background of 12 years and have always had a passion for helping others as well as educating. I stand by the phrase “reach one teach one”. There is nothing more gratifying than knowing that I may have positively impacted our youth by giving them education and skills to navigate throughout their lives!
