YES!’s facilitators are highly training and ever-growing in their skills. Each one brings so much knowledge and passion to their role and work.
“I do this work because sex ed plays a vital role in everyone’s physical and mental health & gives us the information to help us navigate the world.”
“This work is deeply personal—I strive to create spaces where youth from immigrant and marginalized communities feel seen, empowered, and educated, so they can confidently pass those skills forward and build the lives they dream of.”
“I do this work because sex education equips us with the skills and tools to treat ourselves and others better, across all areas of our lives.”
“I do this work because I believe destigmatizing and deindividualizing curiosity about our bodies, desires, and fears is integral to building liberatory relationships and futures.”
“I do this work because our bodies are too often treated like battlegrounds, when they deserve to be honored as playgrounds for joy, connection, and liberation.”
“I believe that sex and consent education is the foundation of all liberation, and I will always champion spreading knowledge that supports building people’s awareness, autonomy, and choice!”
“I do this work because I believe it can be transformative- when we facilitate opportunities for young people to learn about their bodies, ask questions, work through shame, identify their boundaries, name systems of oppression and imagine building more healing, liberatory worlds we are laying the groundwork for radical change.”
“I do this work to offer the inclusive, affirming sex education I wish I had growing up. One that centers immigrant and Spanish-speaking communities, breaks cycles of shame, and transforms sex ed into a source of liberation and joy.”
