One of the best things you can do to increase the number of young people who get sex education is to learn how to teach them yourself! This can look a lot of different ways, from facilitating conversations with your own children and their friends at the dinner table, to learning how to be the knowledgeable, askable adult in your community, to getting more formal training and teaching structured classes at a community center.
Whichever path you choose, getting trained to be a sex ed resource for young people can make a world of difference for your entire community. The values and skills young people learn through sex education – things like consent and bodily autonomy, respect for each other, how to handle rejection, how to build healthy relationships, and navigate conflict peacefully – are fundamental to building healthy communities and a healthy democracy. And many schools are dropping the ball.
