About Colectivo Seres
Colectivo Seres: Empowering Adolescents and Youth through Comprehensive Sexuality Education
Colectivo Seres is a non-profit organization that aims to support the development of adolescents and youth by providing comprehensive sexuality education. The organization offers a range of workshops, programs, and services that promote healthy sexual behaviors, gender equality, and social justice.
At Colectivo Seres, we believe that sexuality education is an essential component of human development. It helps young people understand their bodies, emotions, relationships, and responsibilities. It also equips them with the knowledge and skills they need to make informed decisions about their sexual health and well-being.
Our approach to sexuality education is holistic and inclusive. We recognize that sexuality is a complex aspect of human life that involves physical, emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions. Therefore, we provide age-appropriate information on topics such as anatomy and physiology; puberty; contraception; sexually transmitted infections (STIs); consent; healthy relationships; gender identity; sexual orientation; diversity; rights; advocacy; communication skills; self-esteem building among others.
We also acknowledge the importance of involving parents/guardians in the process of educating young people about sexuality. Therefore we offer workshops for parents/guardians on how to talk with their children/adolescents about sex-related issues in an open-minded way without shame or judgment.
Our team consists of highly qualified professionals who are passionate about promoting sexual health literacy among adolescents/youths in our community. Our facilitators have extensive experience working with diverse populations including LGBTQIA+ individuals as well as those from different cultural backgrounds.
We offer various programs tailored to meet specific needs such as:
1) School-based Programs: We partner with schools to provide comprehensive sexuality education during school hours or after-school programs for students aged 10-19 years old.
2) Community-based Programs: We organize workshops for community groups such as youth clubs or religious organizations.
3) Online Programs: We offer online courses/webinars on various topics related to adolescent/youth sexual health.
4) Counseling Services: We provide confidential counseling services for individuals who need support regarding issues related to sex/sexuality.
At Colectivo Seres we are committed to promoting social justice by addressing inequalities related to gender identity/expression/sexual orientation/race/class/disability status etc., which can impact access/resources/opportunities available for young people regarding their sexual health/well-being/life goals.
