Policy & Advocacy
As we learn more as a society about sex, gender, relationships, and overall health,
our sex education policies and standards should evolve as well. We believe in continued advocacy and policy tracking to ensure students receive the sex ed they deserve.

Policy and Implementation Tracking
A major challenge for any educational policy rests in its implementation. For sex education, several key groups are the most attune to changes in laws or standards: teachers, students, and parents.
​
That's why we focus our efforts on listening to these communities so we can support implementation efforts through community education, teacher training, and advocacy.
