Welcome to WA PREP for Healthy Youth!
Together, we’ll build a thoughtful and strategic approach from vision to implementation
What is WA PREP?
WA PREP is a sexual health education program administered by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH), in partnership with the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and Cardea. Through professional learning and capacity development, WA PREP prepares teachers and youth development professionals to implement comprehensive sexual health education (CSHE) for youth ages 11–18. All services are provided at no cost for WA PREP partners, and we can offer small stipends to support with CSHE implementation.
WA PREP Partner Testimonials
It was truly a joy to come to this training. It has benefitted me both professionally and personally. I feel prepared and confident to teach the SHARP curriculum and very excited to share this vital information with our youth.
Our last training was a huge success. The mixed ages and genders helped enrich the experience, not detract. I’m so happy it worked out so well. The kids are asking for future trainings too. Thank you for such a rewarding experience.
I have a blast teaching this subject to youth. I appreciate all the ideas about how to play with the curriculum to have it involve the kids more.
