Let's Stop Aids! Youth Peer to Peer Sex Education

Peer to Peer is a LetsStopAIDS initiative that intersects knowledge exchange and youth leadership.

The programme was created by youth to provide their peers with a stigma-free environment where they have access to information related to sexual health and navigating relationships, that is relevant to their experiences.

When speaking with youth about what they are taught in sex-ed, they share there is a disconnect between what is discussed in the classroom vs. real life experiences. LetsStopAIDS believes that youth need to be at the centre of conversations around programme development to close the gap. That is why peer educators have been at the heart of the programme curation, design, and execution.

The mission is to fill the gap in the curriculum to empower youth to make decisions that are right for them.
