How We Do This Work
These programs and initiatives detail how we achieve the goals set forth in
our core areas of work.
Teacher Training and Professional Development
As educational standards evolve and best practices change, teachers deserve a trusted and reliable resource to support them in providing high quality sex education to their students. Our teacher training and professional development programs help empower teachers to feel confident, knowledgeable, and prepared to teach students about sex, gender, and relationships.
School and District Level Consulting
Sex education doesn't just happen in the classroom. Creating a community where teachers, parents, and students all feel supported and included takes effort and care. We're here to help. We will meet with you to talk through your specific community needs and concerns and develop a plan to make all feel informed and included in this vital educational topic
Policy Advocacy
We will advocate for policies and standards that create the most accurate, inclusive, and accessible sex education landscape possible for teachers and students. As we work in coalition with our partners, we will fight for policy that ensures the sexual, gender, and relationship health and well-being of all Minnesota youth.
Implementation and Experience Surveying
As standards and policies shift, implementation efforts become the most vital piece of education policy work. We will be in consistent communication and collaboration with teachers, students, and parents around the state to gauge the challenges and successes of implementation efforts from those most affected.
Volunteer Connections Across Minnesota
In order to advocate for and educate all Minnesotans, we need the voices of folks around the state! Become a volunteer and fight for honest sex education in Minnesota with opportunities at all time, energy, and emotional capacity levels. You can help us make change!
