2024 NATIONAL SEX ED CONFERENCE IN PHILADELPHIA
Director of Curricula, Shayla Benson, and Director of Training, Victoria Mahand, proudly represented One Circle Foundation at the 2024 National Sex Ed Conference in Philadelphia, PA. Their workshop, ‘One Size DOES NOT Fit All: Dispelling Gender Myths & Norms in SEX ED,’ attracted over 50 engaged participants and received enthusiastic feedback. Our presence at this national event significantly boosted brand visibility, positioning One Circle Foundation as a leader in innovative, strengths- based youth programming. A recurring message
we heard from attendees was clear: ‘Students are losing interest in traditional sex education curricula and need a more relevant, engaging approach.’ This sentiment sparked strong interest in our Circle programs as a compelling, research-based alternative to traditional models. The conference not only expanded our network of potential partners but also reinforced the growing demand for curricula that foster open, authentic conversations about relationships, consent, and healthy development. • Coalition for Juvenile Justice Conference – Washington, DC • Coalition for Community Schools EMPOWER Summit – Hollywood, CA • Association of School Social Workers of America Conference – Kansas City, MO OUR TEAM ALSO PROUDLY REPRESENTED OCF AT: These events provided opportunities to engage with policymakers and youth-serving professionals, expanding awareness of One Circle Foundation’s programs and mission.
