Mission: SIECUS advances sex education through advocacy, policy and coalition building.
Programs: SIECUS partners with several national organizations to lead the movement toward federal funding for sexuality education programs (including teen pregnancy prevention and HIV prevention education); works with partners on the ground in targeted states to move state-level policies forward to institute, protect, and/or expand sexuality education programs; partners with both national and state-level organizations to prevent the harm of federally funded abstinence-only-until-marriage programs; and delivers advocacy trainings and produces resources (such as fact sheets, special reports, and policy updates) that advance these efforts.
