School-Based Consultation
We consult with individual schools and school districts to institutionalize sex education in their system. This is a unique process based on each school or district’s needs and timeline, but may include:
Conducting an assessment on current education and curriculum, gaps, needs, community buy-in, and implementation challenges
Developing school policy
Selecting, scoping, and sequencing curriculum
Develop parent/caregiver education materials and resources.
Training and offering continued support to teachers to facilitate sex education.
We have partnered with several schools and school districts to institutionalize high quality comprehensive sex education in their system, including one of the largest school districts in Illinois.
Local teachers and administrators can contact Hallie Cohen at hcohen@ywca-ens.org for more information on our school-based consultation partnerships.
“This training was engaging, useful, and relevant. I loved how matter of fact this was, with an emphasis on giving 100% accurate information. We need more of this in the world. Thank you for your work!”
“This training went well beyond the Sex Ed I received in school. I’m so excited for our students to receive this necessary and relevant information. I wish I’d gotten it when I was their age.”
