NCSSE

The National Coalition To Support Sexuality Education consists of over 135 national nonprofit organizations, many of which are noted role models and initiators in promoting health, education, and social justice for our nation's youth. These organizations represent a broad constituency of social workers, religious officials and lay people, educators, advocates, physicians, health care professionals, and child development specialists, whose combined work reaches more than 30 million young people. The goal of the National Coalition to Support Sexuality Education is to assure that all children and youth receive comprehensive sexuality education. The members of the coalition:

• Advocate for sexuality education at the national and state level.

• Assist national organizations concerned with youth to establish policies and programs on sexuality education.

• Develop strategies for facilitating national and local implementation of sexuality education initiatives and efforts.

• Develop pro-active strategies to address the activities of those who oppose providing children with comprehensive sexuality education.

• Provide an opportunity for networking, resource sharing, and collaborating on a national level.

• Develop joint goals and objectives into the 21st century.

• Hold semi-annual meetings to discuss progress made toward achieving its mission.
