BE WELL PEER EDUCATORS: SAFER SEX AMBASSADORS
What we do
Safer Sex Ambassadors plan, organize, and coordinate sexual health outreach programs on campus. SSA members provide peer education programs on condom use, STI and HIV education, contraceptives, and communication. These students demonstrate comfort and compassion in discussing sensitive issues. They stay abreast of current sexual health issues in pop culture and aim to help their peers make informed decisions about their sexuality.
