Service learning "let's Talk about sex"

. Activism: 
  Let's talk about sexwas an event to educate people about safe sex and then to  raise money  for VOX. It was really fun, and I even brought my boyfriend to the event who had a lot of fun helping out. I thought it was fun to check IDs when people came into the door since I've never been a bouncer before =3



We handed out raffle tickets, and raised a lot of money for VOX that way.
People seemed a little less interested in taking our literature about safe sex, but I made sure to hand out a lot of them anyway.

The free condoms were great so that in itself might have brought people in.

2. Reflection: 

On the macro level, it reminds me of what we read in class about the Men Acting for Change. There were so many men there that it made me happy to see they want to be/are educatedabout safe sex like girls.

 

 How have the week’s events influenced way you view feminist activism and women’s issues?  

This week makes me realize how much fun feminist activism can be

 

 

What do you believe is your community partner’s view of these issues? This is your opportunity to reflect on the impact yor activism is making—on you and on the community.

 

I think they are happy about all the publicity and money we've raised them for their great cause.

MAC has stated that through their work "we take control of our future and 

 generate the skills and perspectives we need to make it a better and safer place for both men and women" (John Stoltenberg, 285).

 

 

3. Reciprocity: Remember that Service Learning is not a one way street.You are not simply giving something to the community partner. Think about what you personally are getting in return. How might this be defined from a feminist perspective?

During this event, I felt like I was being educated about safe sex as well as the other people who didn't help plan the event. So that is something I got in return.
