Fact Forward is offering sponsorships to organizations and faith communities around the state to support reproductive health awareness and outreach activities during May 2022. Community Sponsorships support innovative events to engage your community by empowering young people to make healthy decisions, providing resources for parents/caring adults, youth-serving professionals, faith, and other community leaders, educating them about the importance of quality evidence-based approaches to teen pregnancy prevention.
Each May, during Sex Ed for All Month and National Adolescent Health Month, Fact Forward joins organizations across the country to raise awareness about the need for evidence-based reproductive health education. This year we've decided to engage adolescents directly and bring back. Teen Expressions, a creative contest for teens to display their talents and have their voices heard on issues impacting them and their peers throughout the state. We look forward to sharing their work with you May 2022.
We've also created a social media toolkit to make sharing Sex Ed for All information as easy as possible. You can download and view the toolkit below.
