Over the years, we've seen our youth grow up within SMART
Youth. Whether it was about safer sex or tips on how to write a resume, our
youth have learned so many skills through our workshops and meetings. It’s
important to have knowledge and skills, but what’s more important is what we do
with it.
So we asked the question: Which ways have you used what
you've learned in SMART Youth outside of
SMART Youth?
There were many different answers. Some spoke about how
being involved in SMART Youth has allowed them to be a source of information or
resources for their friends and peers. One person even spoke of how she hosts
sex education events on her college campus. Another participant said that
talking about current event issues in sex and sexuality made him more aware of
situations that are happening, and that SMART Youth provided a safe space to
discuss these issues.
Others spoke about how the skills they've learned through
meetings and workshops have helped them become better communicators. This is an
important skill that is not only used for maintaining personal relationships,
but for other parts of life like having a job.
We’re excited to know that our youth are not only benefiting
from our workshops, but that they are also spreading what they've learned from
SMART Youth!
