The Collaborative for Youth in Care (CLYC) is looking for young adults currently in extended care or formerly in out-of-home care, as well as adults who have worked with youth in care for interviews about their experiences learning about healthy relationships and sexual health. There will be one interview opportunity per person with a one-hour time commitment. Eligible participants must currently live in Harris County or surrounding areas, and will receive a gift card for participating. To learn more, contact Andrea Siceluff at [email protected].

At the Texas Campaign, we interview young adults with lived experience with regards to teen pregnancy or sex education to help incorporate youth voice into everything we do. The impact of their first-hand experience will help inform our future work across the state. 

This month, we interviewed HK Gray, who shares her experience with getting pregnant at 15 and how her reproductive journey started by not being able to access birth control.

The Texas Campaign has a new mailing address! You can reach us at:
