AWARENESS 

All parties are fully informed.  Not impaired by alcohol or drugs.  Not pressured or rushed 

REQUIRED 

Consent is not assumed from clothing, social media, dancing, or body language 

Sex without consent is a felony (rape). 

UNDERSTOOD 

Talking openly with each other about consent and sexuality is healthy.  

Mutual consent increases intimacy.  

It’s okay to be unsure, or change your mind. 

Sometimes talking about consent leads teenagers to delay having sex. 

Amid rapidly changing technology and the ever-changing new normal, Title IX, equity, and civil rights call out. Kids know youth culture what it’s like to be a teenager rn. We learn the most from the young people we serve.
