Let's Talk About Sex
Published: October 2022
Description
Youth today are vibrant, active, and full of life. In every way imaginable, young people engage with the world around them and do their utmost to figure out what it means to live life to the fullest.
This also means that they are sexually curious.
This page is for every youth worker who has wondered about how to address the topic of sex and sexuality with young people. The YMI was pleased to welcome the Rev. Dr. Kate Ott to speak to our audience. Dr. Ott’s work on sex, sexuality, and technology is at the forefront of a critical conversation: How can we do more to accompany our youth, and provide a safe/brave space in which to talk about these things?
We have compiled the following curriculum, videos, and accompanying questions into a resource that we hope will be helpful for you in your ministry.
