RISE: Healthy for Life provides and promotes responsible, inclusive sexuality education. We destigmatize sex, orientation, identity, prevention, menstruation, and accurate information through education, advocacy, and collaborative systems change.

The Division of General Pediatrics and Adolescent Health is the home to the University of Minnesota's Healthy Youth Development - Prevention Research Center (HYD - PRC), one of the premier sites in the country for adolescent health research. At the HYD - PRC researchers are learning about the best practices for providing adolescents with the necessary skills and opportunities to live healthy and meaningful lives. The HYD - PRC is also dedicated to learning and implementing ways to reduce health disparities that exist among Minnesota's young people.

A leader in the sex education field, the Institute ensures its programs empower participants with the knowledge and skills to make responsible decisions with regard to their sexual health.

Answer is a national organization based in the Center for Applied Psychology at Rutgers University. For nearly 40 years our mission has been to provide and promote unfettered access to comprehensive sex education for young people and the adults who teach them. We envision a nation in which sexuality is accepted as a normal, healthy part of development and every young person’s right to high-quality sex education is fulfilled. Answer meets its mission by developing youth-focused sexual health resources and training teachers to deliver the sex education young people deserve.

Planned Parenthood is a respected leader in reproductive and sexual health education in the U.S. We deliver sex education that empowers people to make informed choices and lead healthy, happy lives.

Our Planned Parenthood affiliates provide educational programs, training, and outreach to 1.7 million young people and adults every year.

Celebrating over 25 years of leadership, EyesOpenIowa is a nationally recognized organization dedicated to providing comprehensive sexual health education and training for educators, youth-serving professionals, and other adults.

Advocates for Youth partners with youth leaders, adult allies, and youth-serving organizations to advocate for policies and champion programs that recognize young people’s rights to honest sexual health information; accessible, confidential, and affordable sexual health services; and the resources and opportunities necessary to create sexual health equity for all youth.

Fact Forward, formerly the South Carolina Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, has led a statewide effort to advocate for teen reproductive health since 1994. Due in part to our work over the past 25 years, the teen birth rate in South Carolina has declined 70%...but there’s still more work to do. STIs are on the rise, and unintended pregnancies among young adults are up.
