Special announcement from Isy: We need you!!
2023/07/31
We need your help! Each year, Your Empowered Sexuality (YES!) partners with Puentes de Salud to serve South Philadelphia students from Latinx immigrant families, primarily with roots in Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala. The programs seek to address deep educational inequities such as systemic school underfunding, unequal language access, lack of relevant, engaging curricula, and other unmet needs.  As common for many Pennsylvania students, one particular unmet need is access to comprehensive, intersectional, and accurate sexuality education. YES! offers weekly programming for 150+ students to meet this need, with consent and boundary workshops for 1st-3rd grade students; workshops to 4th-8th grade students spanning topics such as consent, identity, sexuality, puberty, race, and gender; and monthly parent workshops. Funding in recent years for this work has allowed YES! and Puentes to reach more participants, support additional age groups, hire more bilingual Latinx facilitators, and further community leadership. However, due to tightening grantor budgets, this year’s grant funding will be cut by at least $10,000 - about a third of the total funding for this program. Help YES! close this funding gap and continue serving South Philadelphia students by donating today to support these efforts! Your Empowered Sexuality (YES!) and Puentes de Salud are both 501(c)3 organizations. For other ways to get involved: become a monthly YES! donor, join our mailing list, and sign up to hear about future YES! events.  Testimonials: “These workshops are so important for my child because sometimes, as parents we don’t know how to talk about certain topics.” -Parent of a 5th grader"Thank you for making us feel SO comfortable in the classes. Thank you for understanding us and listening to us." -5th Grade Student "Thank you Isy for taking the time from your day to teach us about our body and how we should respect others" -7th Grade Student"I used to get scared but now I know more and I won’t get that scared." -High School StudentDonate here!
