Vision and Mission

Our vision is for sexuality to be understood, respected, valued and celebrated.

We believe that

• Knowledge is helpful, not harmful.
• Young people offer an essential and unique perspective.
• Teens are responsible decision makers.
• Diversity should be respected and embraced.
• Young people benefit when parents, educators and other adults work in partnership.
• Speaking out to create a sexually literate and informed society makes a difference.

Our mission is to provide and promote comprehensive sexuality education to young people and the adults who teach them.

We fulfill our mission through our Sexuality Education Training Initiative, which helps teachers and other youth-serving professionals create dynamic and effective educational experiences for young people, and our Teen-to-Teen Sexuality Education Project, which uses the power of teen-to-teen communication to provide millions of teens with the information they need to make responsible decisions about sex.
