We are a dedicated group of sex educators, building on our collective experience and knowledge gained from years of creating, testing, and refining training and tools designed to support our educators and community partners to effectively meet young people’s sex education needs.
We have created engaging eLearning to ignite your passion to teach comprehensive sex education! Tailored to the way you want to learn, these short courses are designed to build your knowledge and skill to deliver education on specific topics. A combination of virtual instructor-led and self-directed modalities, with medical accuracy throughout, will give you a well-rounded foundation to teach young minds. While we began as a program at Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai’i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky, Spark*ED.net, LLC became an independent company in November 2024, staffed by experienced sex educators and trainers. Our team builds on our collective experience and knowledge gained from years of creating, testing, and refining training and tools designed to support our educators and community partners to effectively meet young people’s sex education needs. We are intimately aware of the training needs of today’s sex educators and are thrilled to share our training and resources with you so we can all benefit young people together.
