Teen Spring Kickback

Mark your calendars as the Teen Spring Kickback brings together youth currently enrolled in high school for a powerful, engaging and inspiring event focused on sexual health, empowerment and real-world decision-making.

Led by the HIV, STD & Hep C Community Program and Child Welfare, this dynamic summit will tackle facts vs. myths around comprehensive sex education, HIV/STI prevention, healthy communication, peer pressure, substance use, and the growing impact of social media on youth behavior.

Participants will experience:

• Interactive workshops designed to inform and empower
• Expert speakers and peer-led education
• Entertainment and activities that make learning fun
• A safe, inclusive space to explore the challenges and choices that shape their health and future

Why teens should attend and why sexual health matters

Understanding sexual health is about more than just avoiding risk—it's about empowerment, confidence, and making informed decisions that protect your future.

• Knowledge is power: Learn the truth about HIV, STIs, healthy relationships, consent and decision-making through fun, engaging workshops. No judgment, just real talk and facts.
• Hear from people like you: Peer-led sessions and youth voices will guide conversations that reflect what teens are really thinking and facing today.
• Social media ≠ sex ed: With so much misinformation online, it’s important to know what’s real and what’s not. The summit helps you sort through the noise and take control of your narrative.
• Safe space to ask questions: Whether you're curious, concerned or just want to understand more, this is a safe, supportive place to get answers.
• Build confidence and life skills: From communication to self-advocacy, the summit equips you with tools that will benefit all areas of your life.
• It’s not just learning, it’s fun: With music, interactive activities, giveaways and dynamic speakers, the summit is designed to be exciting and memorable.
   

We can’t wait to welcome you back to this exciting, impactful event!
