EDUCATION

SYLC members act as peer leaders and work to educate themselves and other youth about healthy relationships, respect, and other issues that are important to teens.

Healthy Relationships Education

SYLC members plan and organize educational workshops for their peers, and often attend events where they can speak or facilitate activities about healthy relationships. They also help give healthy relationship classes with SAFV staff at the high schools in Sitka.

Community Education

SYLC members facilitate discussions about rigid gender norms, inequity and oppression, and mental health using toolkits they've developed.

Bring SYLC to Your Community

SYLC members travel from time to time to other towns and villages in Alaska to facilitate teen talks, workshops about youth advocacy, and conversations about healthy relationships and other topics.

SYLC's Media Toolkit

SYLC's media toolkit is a video in which members share their thoughts, experiences and the importance of respect, a sense of belonging, and interrupting oppression. By doing this they hope to inspire discussions about these topics. And hopefully, if enough people talk and spread this message, it can make a difference.

We can share this toolkit with interested groups at a small fee to cover shipping. Please contact sylcintern@gmail.com if you are interested.
