Teen Advocates for Sexual Health (TASH)
Program Description
Teen Advocates for Sexual Health is a group of approximately 30-40 teens (grades 9-12) representing diverse backgrounds from the greater St. Louis Metropolitan Area. TASH creates, develops, plans and implements programs that move toward a greater understanding and appreciation of healthy sexuality based on teen rights, respect and responsibility.
Special Highlight
TASH is the recipient of the 2007 Generation-to-Generation Sex Educator Award sponsored by Choice USA. This past May, three TASH students accepted this prestigious recognition in Washington, D.C. for their outstanding work regarding sex education and helping to ensure a sexually healthier future for all youth. Congratulations TASH!
Mission
The purpose of TASH is to improve the sexual health of adolescents throughout the St. Louis region. From advocating for comprehensive, medically accurate sex education in their schools, to preventing teen dating violence, to increasing honest communication about sex between teens and adults and much more, TASH members serve as agents for change.
