To meet the needs of our educators and the young people we serve while ensuring that everyone has access to vital sexual health education, the Annex now has two options for presentations:
- Live In-Person Presentations
- Live Zoom Education Presentations
Are you interested in a presentation from our education team? Please specify which presentation you would like on the request form.
The Annex Teen Clinic provides a range of education programs in school, community organizations, and faith-based settings. We only provide fact-based, age-appropriate, and nonjudgmental programs. These provide young people with the information they need to make their own choices about their sexual health, understand their bodies, and feel confident in their decisions. Annex educators are trained to provide programming that is relevant for young people. Their programming is engaging, and is based on best practices such as trauma-informed care and positive youth development.
Youth Presentation topics include, but are not limited to:
- Birth Control Methods
- Consent
- Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation
- Healthy Relationships and Communication
- Mental Health 101
- Puberty and Anatomy
- Sexual Decision Making
- Sexual Exploitation
- Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Prevention
- And more!
How can I request a presentation?
- Contact our organization as early as possible to reserve a presentation date and time. The earlier you contact us, the more likely we are able to accommodate your request. Teachers and community members will often book a presentation months in advance – which is great! Please understand that we may not be able to accommodate a “last minute” presentation request.
- We realize that teachers will often offer multiple sections of the same class during the day. Please note that the Annex will provide up to four presentations in a single day.
Who is able to request a presentation from the Annex?
Young people from absolutely anywhere can receive clinical services. However, the Annex focuses our education and outreach to our geographic service area, which is Northwest Hennepin County and North Minneapolis. This is because young people in these communities are more likely to find our clinic services accessible and we need to set boundaries on how far we travel due to limited staffing capacity. Whenever possible, we provide referrals to schools/organizations that are closer to your community.
If your school or organization is outside of our geographic service area, we suggest communicating with one of the resources listed on the Sexuality and Family Life Educators’ (SFLE) website.
Do you charge a fee for presentations?
We understand that many nonprofit organizations and schools have limited funding for presentations. We will present regardless of an organization’s ability to pay.
Each presentation costs an average of $150. We ask for a payment of $100 per class to help offset these costs. However, a payment of any amount is welcome, and we will present regardless of ability to pay.
What are the goals of providing presentations, and what is your approach?
- Provide fact-based, youth-centered information on sexuality topics
- Connect young people to the Annex Teen Clinic’s clinical services, when needed
- Model open and honest communication around sexuality topics
Request a presentation in your home, school, community setting, or at the Annex.
