Planned Parenthood Association of Utah

At Planned Parenthood, we believe that reproductive rights are human rights, that everyone deserves access to education and health care, and that everyone should have the opportunity to choose their own path to a healthy and meaningful life.

Thanks to your generosity here in Summit County, PPAU is helping develop the next generation of reproductive health leaders through the Teen Council program.

In 2023, our Teen Council members taught lessons about contraception, healthy relationships, consent and communication for after school programs, charter and private schools Summit County.  We participated in a Mountain Mediation Dialogue on Gender, the Bans off Our Bodies Rally, and the Peace House Vigil to raise awareness of the impact that domestic violence has in our community.

Teen Council members explored the intersections of environmental justice and reproductive rights, health and justice during 2023 and will continue this important cross issue work in 2024. 

Teen Council 2022 Retreat

Through the Teen Council program, teens are trained as peer educators to talk to their fellow students and friends about accurate reproductive and sexual health information. This evidence-based, peer-led, sex education program is currently celebrating its twelve-year anniversary in the state of Utah. This year, we have reached over 200 youth, with over 85 taught by Teen Council cofacilitating, in Summit County in comprehensive sex education, leadership,  and advocacy.

Your donations are also helping us implement an education program called LiFT - Linking Families and Teens

LiFT is a 6-hour program, available in English & Spanish, that brings 9-12th grade teens and their parenting adult together. They are empowered to share family values, build the family bond, and talk about the tough stuff – sexual health and healthy relationships.
