Core Values
Living Earth
All of us are of the Earth.
Our relationship with Earth informs our relationships with ourselves and each other.
When we take care of and protect the Earth we take care of and protect ourselves and each other.
Sex Ed
Sex shapes individuals, communities, and life systems on Earth.
Sexuality education is the collection of stories we tell ourselves about bodies and relationships.
Our stories give us language and skills we need to take care of one another and Earth.
Our Values in Practice
Participatory
A core element of sexuality education is social skill development. Our programs give students the chance to build skills like boundary-setting, apologizing, and asking for help.
Student-Led
Student questions and input actively shape our programs. We recognize that every group has distinct needs and we adjust accordingly. We also give our students room to share their unique insights about sexuality.
Fun
Sexuality education is part silly and part serious. We encourage students to laugh and have fun whether we're covering something silly or we need to decompress after a deeper conversation.
