Each year in the United States, over 750,000 teens become pregnant and find themselves making tough choices with lasting impacts. Additionally, 9 million new cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are reported among the youth in our country every year. These statistics emphasize the responsibility and challenges we have as educators to prepare our young people to make healthy choices about their sexuality.

To help you meet this challenge, The Birds & Bees Project staff has developed the Educator's Guide to Reproductive Health as well as other educator's materials for you to download off this website. We use the information contained on this website to educate more than 8,000 young people in the Twin Cities metro area each year.

We hope that you will find our materials effective and easy-to-use.   If you have questions about any of the information we provide or how to use the curriculum please email us at info@birdsandbees.org so that we can answer your questions.  

To support the critical work of Teachers, Social Workers, Youth Workers and Community Program Educators, we are launching a monthly e-mail alert in the fall of 2007. The alert will be easy and quick to read and will feature new information in the field of sexual and reproductive health from an educator's perspective, including issues specific to youth.

If your school or organization is located in the Twin Cities metro area and you would like to invite a Birds & Bees Project educator into your classroom, please click here to fill out a brief Presentation Request Form. Our education staff will contact you personally once this form has been submitted. All presentations are age-appropriate, medically-accurate and inclusive. Educators will include information on minor's consent and access pertaining to sexual and reproductive health care services.
