These curricula are tailored for middle school and high school students in both public and faith-based settings. He is the founder and Executive Director of the Abstinence & Marriage Education Partnership, which provides training and curriculum for parents, teachers, pregnancy care centers, and youth pastors on ways to effectively communicate the message of abstinence and the value of marriage to teens. Scott is also co-founder and Chairman of the National Abstinence Education Association (NAEA) in Washington, DC, which serves as a voice for abstinence education in legislation and federal funding. Mr. Phelps was the recipient of the 2008 Lifetime Service Award from the Abstinence Clearinghouse. He has been interviewed on local and national media including CNN Headline News, CNN.com, NBC, Washington Post, Moody Radio, and more.

His inspiring, yet practical perspective is born out of his work as a pastor, as an abstinence educator in Chicago public schools, as an author, and as a parent. Scott speaks at pregnancy care center banquets, as well as abstinence events and marriage conferences. He and his wife Carrie have four children, Jennifer, Megan, Jonathan, and Matthew, and reside near Chicago, Illinois.
