What is Sex & Young America?

The constant sexual messages of our culture have shaped today's more permissive society. Young people are especially at risk, as they are growing up bombarded with messages that give them a false view of sex and relationships.

For a year and a half, the National Coalition for the Protection of Children & Families traveled the country to interview teens about these issues. Over 600 interviews with young people from across the United States revealed their desire to learn the truth about sex from adults they trust.

In partnership with organizations such as, Campus Crusade for Christ, Hope Now, Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, Josh McDowell Ministry and Young Life, the National Coalition set out to produce products to help adults effectively talk about sex with youth. The result - Sex & Young America and Sex & Young America: The Real Deal.

Youth Leaders and Educators!

The entire Sex & Young America package, a combination of videos and written curriculum for use in youth group settings, will help lead youth to a better understanding of the sexualized culture in which they are growing up. This unique relationship-driven tool will also help educate, challenge and encourage young people in their decisions about sexual activity and its consequences.

Sex & Young America includes 4 videos (3 for meetings with teens, 1 for a meeting with parents), 1 Facilitator Guide, 1 Student Guide, 1 Parent Guide and 1 Promotional Poster. Each video tape features teens talking about issues such as sex in the media, the effects of today's sexualized culture, what it means to be a virgin and the problem of Internet pornography. These videos will serve as conversation starters for meetings with youth and will give parents an idea of what you will be talking about with their children.

Watching the Real Deal video will give you insight into today's sexual teenage culture and hear, straight from teens, what they really think parents should know.
