Support LGBTQ+ and justice-impacted young people’s access to sex ed!

We need your help to continue providing anti-oppressive, consent-based, pleasure-focused sex ed — in order to meet some key needs of our community we need to raise $5000 by September.

This programming is needed by our partners but currently has no funding. If we reach out goal, we will be able to support LGBTQ+ middle school students, justice-impacted young people, and parents.

Wagner Middle School is a public middle school in the School District of Philadelphia. Last year, we did 8 workshops on consent & healthy relationships — and this year, they want as much programming as we can give them. This would include sexuality education for all students and a dedicated twice-monthly LGBTQ space. Currently, this program has no funding, and will not take place without donor support.

Cornerstone programs works to provide comprehensive youth education for youth in the criminal legal system, with the mission to create futures with kids and families by building solid foundations together. We've done workshops with them that have generated some powerful a-ha moments for participants around the consent and boundaries they deserve and that they can provide to others, regardless of gender stereotypes. Cornerstone wants us to provide a rolling 6-week series for the youth that are cycling through the criminal legal system. We are asking for your donation today so we can continue this programming.
