EducateUS is building a movement of voters laser-focused on advancing progressive sex education policy and implementation across the country. We believe that universal sex education can change the world.
We’re looking for young people between the ages of 16 and 22 to join us in making that happen! If you’re passionate about making sex education universally inclusive and accessible, wondering how to create change both in your local community and nationally, and/or looking for an opportunity to grow your own leadership and collaboration skills, then you may be a great candidate for our Youth Advisory Board.
The Youth Advisory Board plays a key role in shaping our programs, generating new ideas, and bringing select projects to life. Some highlights of the YAB’s work so far include developing and launching a sex ed advocacy workshop for college students, creating resources to help school board candidates win elections, developing our approach to opposition research, and more. YAB members also gain valuable leadership and collaboration experience while guiding our work to make sex education universally accessible.
We will have a few spots opening up on the YAB in September, and that’s where you come in! We’re looking for 2-4 young people who can commit to approximately 5 hours per month (about 2 hours of which will be meetings, workshops and trainings) for a minimum of one year. We will offer a stipend of $1000 per year to each Youth Advisory Board member, to be paid in quarterly installments ($250 at the end of each quarter). Young people from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, neurodivergent, and other marginalized communities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Our movement is stronger when we come together across a range of skills, talents, strengths and experiences. If you haven’t yet worked directly on sex ed advocacy and organizing, don’t let that hold you back.
We’ve tried to make the application below as simple as possible. As you fill it out, please keep in mind that we want to learn about you and what makes you yourself. Applications are due May 23. We can’t wait to learn more about you!
