The only club I ever successfully started in high school was a short lived animal rights group. We held meetings, tried to convince people to become vegetarians, and plastered the halls with handmade posters promoting our cause.

I’m sure a lot of you have done similar things, and if activism and organizing is your bag, why not think about starting a sex ed. program at your school? That might sound a bit more daunting than trying to raise money for prom or organize a spring break trip, but depending on your school, it might be a lot easier than you think.

Here are three great resources that can help teens establish sex ed. programs in their schools.

Planned Parenthood’s REAL life kit:

SIECUS’s Community Action Kit:

The ACLUs Take Issue Take Charge

Sex ed. is a crucial aspect of teen health. Taking charge and making it happen can be a great thing to do personally and for your community.

If you have any experience getting sex ed. into your school let us know about it in the comments!
