Comprehensive Sex Education

Our programs reach across generations to equip teens and adults with the information and tools they need to make healthy reproductive decisions. Most topics can be covered in a single class session. However, multiple-class curriculum benefits students by providing holistic knowledge. 

Our education department is primarily grant funded. Although many of our programs are free of charge, in some cases there might be a fee associated for the cost of customized session(s) based on your audience and requested topic(s).

Topics We Cover

Our health educators are equipped to teach classes on a wide variety of topics, including the following! Contact [email protected] for more information. 

Having Sex

Some of the most important decisions in a young person's life will be about sex & relationships. These relationships can affect their life plans, like school, jobs, and family. We teach classes with the purpose of equipping folks with the tools to make healthy reproductive decisions. 

Healthy Relationships

Connecting with someone romantically, emotionally, and physically can be really amazing. But there's a lot of work that goes into building a good relationship. Our health educators are here to help folks navigate the ins & outs of healthy relationships. 

Puberty and Hygiene

Talking to teenagers about puberty, hygiene, and sex can be hard. That's where we come in. Our health educators are available to teach in schools or at home! Contact [email protected] if you're interested in hosting a Pink Party, an event where moms & daughters come together to talk about sex, puberty, & more!

Consent + Communication 

Talking about consent is an important part of any healthy relationship. It’s an easy way to make sure nobody is being pressured into something they don’t want to do. Our health educators make sure to talk to all ages about the importance of consent. 

Birth Control Methods

There are so many birth control methods available, and our health educators are equipped to teach folks about all of their options. 

HIV & PrEP

Washington, D.C. has one of the highest rates of HIV in the country. That's why it's so important for our health educators to spread the word about HIV prevention through the use of condoms and PrEP. To learn more about PrEP, click below. 

Have an event coming up that you'd like us to table for PrEP at? Contact us at [email protected]
