Program Facilitators:

Marisol Bundtzen is a committed advocate of sex-positive education and has guided eight groups of youth through the O.W.L. program. Her favorite part of teaching sexuality education is how it guides curiosity and acceptance of oneself and builds a strong foundation of self-love and care that prepares young people for healthier relationships. Her knowledge base and experience in leading youth programs makes this five-week program extra special.

Amy Rupp has been working with youth for over 20 years and has spent the last five years leading workshops and camps for kids to explore their social and emotional wellness. This program is one of many programs she hopes to offer for tweens and teens to support their transitioning into adolescence and adulthood. She is excited to team up with Marisol to bring this outstanding program to youth in Anchorage.
