It has been one hell of a year for AMAZE! We are so proud of all that AMAZE has accomplished and wanted to share with you a few things you might have missed and some things coming up for 2018.
News
Recently, AMAZE’s own Nicole Cushman was included in this list of 5 women revolutionizing sex ed in the US! Bustle included AMAZE in this feature on 7 sex ed YouTube channels. Mashable included our consent, sexual assault, and STD videos in this feature on preventing sexual harassment and assault through sex ed.
Campaigns/Initiatives
Have you checked out our new series for parents, Having The Talks? It includes introductory videos from sex ed experts, gorgeously designed printable PDF tips and scripts (literally, the words to tackle topics like masturbation, porn, etc.), related resources, and more. We hope you love the resources and find them useful in talks with your children.
We have been working with renowned author and sex education expert Debbie Roffman to create AMAZE Jr, a new series for children aged 3 to 7. AMAZE, Jr. is designed to build the skills of parents, to help them feel more confident in speaking with their young children and responding to questions about sex and reproduction, such as, “Where do babies come from?” These videos will be released in 2018.
MyAMAZE continues to be a very popular feature with parents! With MyAMAZE teachers are able to select and save videos, create unique playlists to integrate into lessons and share links to selected videos/playlists with students. It’s the perfect compliment to you health education class.
AMAZE envisions a world where young people are affirmed across the globe. Today, we are proud to announce the launch of AMAZE South Africa! The videos are available in English, Xhosa, and Afrikaans. And look out for adapted videos for Latin America, Hungary, South Korea and Mongolia in 2018.
