What project(s) in Sex Ed are you currently working on?I currently work for Bronx Teens Connection, an adolescent pregnancy prevention program out of the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. We are a community-wide initiative to improve adolescent sexual and reproductive health through 4 components: evidence-based sexual health education programs, access to high quality clinical services, community engagement and mobilization, and stakeholder education.
