Want to help advocate for sexual health education in schools like yours?

These steps can help you make big changes in schools across the state

Here are a few things you can do to get involved in sex education advocacy:

• Find your assembly member and state senators, and tell them to support sexual health education in public schools. Urging your elected officials to support sex education programs helps ensure that all young people have access to sex education.

• Find out what the laws are in your state. If they’re comprehensive, contact your local school district to make sure they’re following the laws. If they aren’t or if they don’t exist, tell your local representative that you want better sex education laws in your state.

• Go to your local school board to find out what sex education looks like in your community’s schools. Organize with your friends or other advocates to demand better sex education policies and programs in your school district.

• Find out what workshops PFY educators can provide in your school and community.
