Birds & Bees is a program that has an underlying theme
of sexual health but also addresses other various teenage issues such as
bullying, education pathways, possible careers and positive community
engagement. The program is run in gender groups namely Butterflies for girls
and Brotherhood for boys and participants are aged from 10-15. The groups will
spend time with youth groups of no more than 10 to ensure quality engagement
during various activities and focuses on the development of skills in young people.
Activities include hair & makeup, self-esteem, sexual health, camps,
modelling, movies, swimming lessons, skate boarding workshops, fishing,
cooking, horsemanship and lots more. As the young people build trusting
relationships with their mentors, various topics are raised, shared and
discussed in a safe environment.
