Find out about our Give a Buck campaign, perfect for teens and young adults who want to help out, too.

Scarleteen is an independent, comprehensive and inclusive sexuality clearinghouse for young adults which receives no federal, state or local funding. We serve around 25,000 users daily, providing accurate, nonjudgmental and compassionate sexuality information and education via static content, as well as one-on-one advice and counsel via our highly-moderated message boards, our advice columns and our new SMS service. Tens of millions of teens and young adults have found the help or information they were seeking at Scarleteen.

There is little to nothing else out there quite like us. We were the pioneering model for young adult sex education online, and the work we do online and in person is original, inclusive and based strongly in the educational philosophy and model that presumes young people themselves know best what they need and want in sexuality education and information. We have been applauded and recognized widely: over 1,200 sites currently link to Scarleteen.com, we are often quoted and referenced in the media and in sex education books and other publications, and many clinics, schools and youth-serving organizations have used our materials.

As those who work on the web know, while many services -- including all we offer at Scarleteen -- are free on the user-end, they are not free to provide, especially for a site of this size, depth, heritage and reach. Given the lack of support for teens in general, and the lack of support for comprehensive sex education, we have often operated at a deficit, and have an operating budget that is exceptionally low for the reach and scope of our services. Because the userbase we serve often does not have the means to donate themselves, despite our high traffic of those users, we depend on young adult parents, allies and mentors to help us sustain this service for the teens we all care so much about.

Scarleteen is, and has always been funded primarily by private donations: donations are critical to our survival as an organization. We are fully independent media. If you support what we do, and support the idea that young adults should be able to get accurate, inclusive and caring sexuality information and help when they need it, how they need it, we ask that you do what you can to help support us in that endeavor.

For information on where your donations will go click here. For more information on what we do and why it's so important, find out more about us here.

If a financial contribution is not possible for you, please consider helping in other ways.

We are always in need of volunteer writers for new content, grantwriters, illustrators, sexual health and sexuality consultants, help with fundraising and promotion, and volunteers for our busy message boards; we are in need of those who have skills in locating possible grants and writing grant applications, help with backend development, and assistance in being sure the information we have here is as current and accurate as possible. If you'd like to volunteer, please fill out and return our volunteer application which you can find here. If you would prefer the application in a word or PDF document, just email us and we'll get it to you. Thanks so much!

Thanks to our supporters!

A very special thanks to those who have generously donated their time, efforts or dollars to help sustain and support Scarleteen in our work. We couldn't do it without you!
