PRISM Student Ambassador Program P-SAP is a network of resources and support for high school and college student leaders on the frontlines of LGBTQ+ advocacy. Youth Activism PRISM is dedicated to advocating for queer youth through grassroots action in our community and state. Why It Matters Youth are at risk, and comprehensive sex education saves lives. As of 2021: 36.1% of high school students in Florida have had sexual intercourse and 24. 5% were currently sexually active 49.1% of those students reported not having used a condom during their last sexual encounter Youth aged 15-24 accounted for half of all new STI infections in the United States in 2021. In 2022, Florida had 1,983 AIDS diagnoses; 102 of those were youth in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. In 2021, only 8.2% of high schoolers reported getting tested for HIV. LGBTQ-inclusive education is under attack. Inclusive education was already a patchwork system in the state of Florida, but the "Don't Say LGBTQ " law turned this battle into a war. Now our lawmakers are finding ways to expand Don't Say LGBTQ's restrictions and censorship, as we've seen time and time again in school board meetings and at the Department of Education. With LGBTQ-inclusive education even harder to access, the need for resources that are easily accessible both outside of and within an academic setting is only increasing as young people consume more information through digital media.
