School-Based Youth Leadership Council Coordinator
CurrentAs the School-based YLC (SYLC) Coordinator I work to write, pilot, and improve the implementation of a positive youth development program centered on evidence-based sexuality health education and leadership principles.As of July 2024, I have overseen the implementation of the first iteration of the SYLC at Tulsa School of Arts and Sciences. Ten students were recruited to take on the challenges of planning and implementing a project intended to positively impact their school environment. The students settled on a project intended to start conversations with their peers around the topic of consent by offering opportunities to win prizes and candy after answering trivia questions. Over the course of three implementations the students interacted with 213 of their peers, far exceeding their initial reach goals.
