About Teen Council

Teen Council is a youth leadership, evidence based, peer education program. As a Teen Council member, young people focus on sex education, advocacy, and social justice. Teens educate peers and strengthen your community through classroom presentations on sexual health topics, community impact projects, and advocating for sexual and reproductive rights. Teen Council members empower, educate, and inspire other, including peers, families and communities. Teen Council groups are made up of a diverse group of 10-12th grade volunteers and led by a highly trained and passionate sexual health educator. Members come to the group with different beliefs and views. No one is expected to already know about sexual health. Teen Council is inclusive and welcoming and works actively to be anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, and anti-transphobic.

What We’ve Heard

“It’s quite amazing how my experiences from Teen Council have influenced my life after almost 10 years. It has led me to where I am right now, working toward my masters degree in public health in London where I am able to share my experiences in peer education and sexual health with students from all over the world.” 

“Teen Council helped me realize how great it feels to make a difference, create social awareness and encourage positive social change.”

“Teen Council has been a moving, ever so continuing force in my life. The connection, education, empowerment, community and passion I have felt through Teen Council will never leave my side. The legacy of Teen Council lives on and is held within all those who have been involved in the group and for everyone who has been touched by the beautiful, life changing empowerment it provides.”

“I joined Teen Council because I never saw myself fully represented in sex education and I didn’t want others to go through the same thing. With Teen Council, I am able to give my peers the opportunity to feel seen and heard, no matter who they are or where they come from. Everyone deserves to have access to inclusive and comprehensive sex education, and Teen Council helps make that possible.”

“Teen council has been the best experience I’ve had in high school. It was the first space I was able to have an open and proactive discussion about sexual health without judgement. It allowed me to find autonomy and confidence within myself and my community, and to this day I treasure the time and vital information I learned while in Teen Council.”
