This informative briefing will focus on a new report - funded by the Ford Foundation - from ISIS (Internet Sexuality Information Services) focused on "how youth, particularly youth of color, use technology for their sexual and reproductive health." The paper also identifies opportunities for new digital programming.  Dowload the white paper at http://www.isis-inc.org/techsex_usa.php.
 
ISIS, with support from the Ford Foundation, uses technology to improve the availability and accuracy of sex education resources. A recent New York Times article offers an overview of the ways ISIS and other innovative organizations are using text messaging, social media and other online tools to help young people access this vital information.
 
Funders Concerned About AIDS is proud to be hosting this conversation with the Funders Network on Population, Reproductive Health & Rights and Grantmakers in Film and Electronic Media.
