CORAL GABLES, FLA. (WSVN) - A student summit held in Coral Gables, Friday, aimed to teach South Florida teens about safe sex.
Members of 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project met with students from William H. Turner Technical High School at Doctors Hospital, Friday.

Keynote speakers talked about increasing awareness through transparency, accountability and strong partnerships.
Students took a pledge to live a good, healthy life. “The pledge was being abstinent and staying away from bad things, not having sex and making good decisions,” said student Nicholas Rose.
