Sex Educator of the Week: Kurt Conklin

Kurt Conklin, MPH, MCHES

Director of Programs | SIECUS

On what project in sex ed are you currently working?

I am helping to plan two TISHEs (Training Institutes in Sexual Health Education) that will take place this summer in North Carolina and Maryland. I am so excited to work with Answer, the main sponsor, and my other sexuality education colleagues who will make up the core training staffs!
