Montana Bass

I am rooted in principles of bodily autonomy, sex positivity, and reproductive justice. I am a sex educator because I believe that teaching people about their bodies is a basic necessity for healthy, well-adapted communities. I believe the skills to create and support healthy relationships can be learned, and that education is a critical intervention a society that suffers from widespread sexual abuse and intimate partner violence. I reach towards a world where this right is recognized and respected for all, a world free from coercion and abuse. My goal for the young people I teach is for them to grasp age- and developmentally-appropriate information about key sex ed topics, and to feel confident advocating for their needs and seeking further information. My goal for youth-supporting adults is that they can feel empowered and confident engaging young people in conversations about sex education topics. As a consultant, I work with schools and organizations to develop engaging curriculum that is responsive to SIECUS standards and the unique needs of that community, including trainings and implementation recommendations to ensure programmatic success.
