“For me, as a parent, it is really important that my child has the opportunity to have factual information about ways that she can stay safe and stay healthy.”
Jennifer Solis, Tulsa parent
What is Amplify’s Parent Advocacy Group?
Our Parent Advocacy Group helps parents and caregivers advocate for sexual health education! The group explores how parents and caregivers can take action in support of youth sexual health in meaningful ways, including by speaking at school board meetings, writing op-eds, and engaging with local decision-makers. At our Parent Advocacy Workshops, parents will receive specialized training on sex education advocacy and leave with a strong understanding of health education in Tulsa. Amplify provides a meal at each meeting, along with a raffle prize drawing for attendees!
What does the group do?
Members attend an initial workshop centered around education and advocacy. Workshops will cover an overview of Amplify Youth Health Collective, the landscape of youth sexual health in Oklahoma and Tulsa, getting to know your school board, and how to build a personal narrative around the importance of sex ed. Once trained, parent advocates will have the opportunity to engage further at their own comfort level and learn about current and future opportunities to advocate for sex ed in Tulsa.
