About

Here at Living Earth Sex Ed we hold a vision where children are born into communities that help them feel at home in their bodies, in their relationships, and on Earth. We bring this vision to life with online services for parents and caregivers and in-person classes for kids.

Live online classes and self-paced courses help parents and caregivers practice communication skills to confidently start conversations with their kids about bodies, boundaries, sexuality, and life online.

In-person classes for K-12 grade students are play-based and participatory, are queer and pleasure affirming, and explore how technology shapes children’s understanding and experience of sexuality. Youth programs can range from a stand alone 40 minute workshop to multi-week comprehensive programs.

About Claire, Founder and Lead Instructor at Living Earth Sex Ed

In 2011, a friend invited me to join a training for her job at a teen clinic. During that training, I felt an immense sense of relief being able to openly discuss sexual health with others.

I began working for that clinic and then joined a Planned Parenthood teen theater troupe. After our performances in schools, students shared they felt validated in their experiences growing up, including concerns about puberty, body size, and sexual orientation. I felt angry witnessing the consequences of under-resourced sex ed programs. I often thought: “why can’t adults get their act together and provide comprehensive programs like in other parts of the world?”

In the spring of 2023 I started Living Earth Sex Ed hoping to be able to provide high quality, engaging, and transformative educational experiences for kids and the communities that raise them.
