Advocates for Youth was happy to participate last week in the Sexuality Education Advocacy Training here in Washington, D.C., where activists of faith from all over the country came to learn, organize and lobby for REAL sex education in our schools.
One of wonderful youth activists here was 14-year old Zoe Paddock of Glouchester, MA, who attends the high school where the infamous "pregnancy pact" took place in 2007. She's looking to bring greater contraceptive access to her school, and also bring in some much needed federal funding for comprehensive sex education nationally.
She was quoted in the Boston Globe, and her story was covered by her local TV news station... check it out:
