The YUTHE team attends community events in San Francisco, providing education and offering referrals to sexual health services. At these events, the youth program also delivers educational resources through fun activities, engaging youth in conversations about their health and helping connect them to resources that empower their sexual well-being.

The YUTHE team provides sexual health workshops to community agencies and school districts, covering sexual, overall, and mental health topics relevant to youth. We also provide overdose prevention education, connect them to resources across the city, and foster opportunities for ongoing collaboration.

The YUTHE team focuses on peer-to-peer outreach, where youth from the community recognize their peers as leaders and trusted sources of support. During street outreach, we offer sexual health and overdose prevention education while connecting youth to services. By empowering youth to make informed health decisions, we foster leadership and stronger, healthier communities.

Through the condom distribution program, the YUTHE team is able to ensure that youth have reliable access to protection, fostering safer choices, whether they’re at school, out in the community, or attending events.

Through social media youth engagement and public health messaging, the YUTHE team leverages digital platforms to connect directly with youth. By using social media as a tool, we provide sexual health services, referrals, and guidance for navigating resources. We meet youth in their virtual spaces, fostering engagement and supporting their health and well-being.

The YUTHE team supports an inclusive space by collaborating with health access points, other organizations, and those outside the DPH structure to form a broader network of services. We create events that connect youth in fun, meaningful ways, encouraging them to be part of, participate in, or even provide resources. In doing so, we empower youth as leaders, often blending education with music, entertainment, and community space-making.
