FLASH: The Florida Adolescent/Young Adult Sexual Health Network

FLASH, the Florida Adolescent/Young Adult Sexual Health Network, is a new, youth-designed, youth-focused collective advancing health advocacy, education, and research initiatives, by and for young people of diverse sexualities and genders in Florida.

FLASH works to:

• Promote the inclusion of young people’s perspectives, their unique experiences, and their expertise on the needs of their own communities in public health planning and research.
• Partner with community organizations, local governments, public officials, youth advocacy movements, mutual aid networks, social innovation entrepreneurs, foundations, and others who share our commitment to elevating youth voices.
• Cultivate a community of practice, establishing youth-led design and adult allyship as the norm across Florida.
