Dear Parents/Trusted Adults,
Student U has organized a summer health program for RISING 9th and 10th grade students to participate in and earn up to $100 upon completion! Each workshop will take place Tuesdays and Thursdays at lunch time from 12:28-1:08pm during U Prep Summer Academy (for a total of 9 sessions).
The interactive program will focus on a series of topics. Your high school student will learn important facts and life skills about: assertive communication, consent and healthy relationships, safer sex practices (including protection methods and sexually transmitted infection prevention), and advocating for one's own health.
All information given will be drawn from evidence-based curricula designed to delay sexual behaviors and to increase correct and consistent use of protection methods if a person becomes sexually active. The workshops will give our young people the facts in an age-appropriate way and through the framework of Social and Emotional Learning:
Self-awareness: getting to know and trust yourself.
Self-management: self-control to express feelings in healthy ways.
Social awareness: being able to put yourself in “another person’s shoes.”
Relationship skills: building healthy relationships, dealing with conflict, and seeking help when needed.
Responsible decision making: how to think through pros and cons of choices and how your actions may affect others.
Parental permission must be obtained before any student can participate in this program. Please complete this form by the given date: June 1, 2023. Space is limited!
