We understand that most people who teach sexuality education didn't set out to be sex educators. Most of them dedicate their lives to teaching other subjects, coaching, or working in some other youth-supporting role. This workshop is designed to help newer sexuality education teachers get comfortable with basic skills: talking about anatomy and birth control, answering sensitive questions, and saying "sex" in front of a room full of young people. Learn more and register...

This workshop will help particiants advocate for and implement effective sex education programs in their communities without worrying about controversy that could arise. Learn more and register...
