HIFY Updates:
Hello everyone! We at HIFY hope that the school year is starting off
right; we know that we’ve been busy this past month!
We’ve started a search for youth interested in joining our new Youth
Advisory Board. (Check out the application and flyer on the files
page)
Youth are expected to attend meetings twice a month and help guide our
decision making. We want youth input! Youth will also be responsible
for attending HIFY events and helping us with outreach. It’s a year
commitment with a $500 stipend attached to it. If you know any youth
that are interested in Health Education and Youth Development, send
them our way!
In the past month we’ve worked with these groups:
New America Media- Go Healthy Series
SFUSD Wellness Centers – Training of Trainers and Positive Sexuality
John Muir School- Go Healthy Series
Log Cabin Ranch- Go Healthy Series
The Marin School- Training of Trainers and Anti-Oppression
Mission Neighborhood Health Center- Training of Trainers and Positive
Sexuality
Also, I did an interview with the local TV show “Ten Percent” about
the work that HIFY does. Check out the video at

Have a great month!

Positive Sexuality and Youth Training: October 13th and 14th.
Check out our Video about Positive Sexuality:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFfTHgQOjIM
Positive Sexuality & Youth (Introduction) -
October 13th, 2009
We all want the best for young people, but this often does not include
teaching young people about both the joys and the dangers of sex and
intimacy.
This training will take participants through the basics of sex
education and how to incorporate youth- friendly messages into our
prevention efforts. We will give an overview of Positive Sexuality
and provide examples for teaching anatomy, STI myths and facts, HIV,
and healthy relationships. We will also practice through intensive
activities how to handle questions about sex that young people might
have in real settings. No previous experience is required to attend
this training. (5 CE credits)
Positive Sexuality & Youth (Extended Learning) -
October 14th, 2009
Abstinence Only education? Comprehensive Sex Education? No matter
which side of the debate you’re on, both models restrict the
possibilities for students.
This training further explores HIFY’s approach to a holistic and
comprehensive sex(uality) education and supports participants in
uncovering the hidden and sex negative messages that might
subconsciously come into our work. We will explore personal values and
boundaries around sex, and how to have those conversations with the
youth we serve. We will focus on working with youth survivors and
youth of color. Participants will be introduced to Sexual Harm
Reduction and practice talking with youth about how to stay safe. Our
Introduction to Positives Sexuality & Youth is highly recommended. (5
CE credits)
**We want these trainings to be accessible to all providers seeking to
make a better world for young people. If you’re concerned about
pricing, give me a call so we can discuss the many financial aid
options!
A little more about the upcoming trainings:
All Courses meet the qualifications for 5 hours of continuing
education credit for MFTs and/or LCSWs
as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. Provider
Number 4478.
Trainings will be conveniently located at:
575 Market St. (Suite 1850) San Francisco, CA 94105 a short walk from
Montgomery BART/MUNI station.
#####
Q-Lab: Reimagined
QLab is community service opportunity for young people 24 and younger
interested in using digital advocacy tools to empower their peers and
improve sexual health for all young people. Members of QLab meet every
Wednesday from 3pm to 6pm to discuss health promotion and produce
educational videos relevant to the genders, sexuality and health of
young people. Our goal is to make these videos available to youth
service providers, teachers, LGBT student groups, parents and other
community members as resource and advocacy tools to increase sexual
literacy among our communities.
QLab is collaboration between the Youth Program and Health Initiatives
for Youth (HIFY).
Next cycle starts October 7th!!
For program description and volunteer application check out the Files
page.

Youth Worker Collective: Annual Youth Worker Survey continues
Help us reach our goal of collecting 500 surveys!
The Youth Worker Collective (formerly known as the Youth Development
Peer Network) is a group of people who wants to validate youth work as
a profession and create spaces for youth workers to gather,
rejuvenate, and connect to people and resources for their personal
development. They believe that stronger youth workers equals stronger
youth serving organizations and most importantly better services for
youth.
One way that they support youth workers is by collecting your voices
so that we can see what the needs or the community, our community,
are. Fill out the survey and share your experiences, your values, and
your challenges and help shape the future of the collective and the
Youth Worker Profession.
If you participate in the survey you will be invited to see the
results after the completion of the survey and be a part of the
recommendation process if you’re interested.
Visit www.ywcollective.org to get more info and fill out the survey!
