Guiding youth to lead healthy and safe lives.
We are state-approved Health Educators providing medically accurate, age-appropriate sex & health ed programming to all Indiana students.
We know growing up isn’t easy.
Misinformation runs rampant about sexual health, puberty, and romantic relationships from peers, social media, entertainment, and even family members – further evidence that comprehensive, fact-based health education is needed now more than ever.
Finding the right health education partner can be difficult.
School administrators must navigate state laws mandating compliance, community leaders opposed to the inclusion of sex education in schools, and a lack of clarity in understanding which providers offer factual, culturally-sensitive programming to schools.
The health of our communities is at stake.
Without proper health & wellness instruction, youth suffer – early teen pregnancy, bullying, sexual and dating violence, mental health crises, depression and suicide, and other unhealthy adolescent behaviors – especially those in at-risk communities.
What if health education was more than teaching kids about puberty and sex?
With LifeSmart Youth, it is.

Reproductive Health

OUR PROMISE
Here’s how we deliver on our promise of providing the best health education for Indiana school districts…
Highly Qualified Educators
We employ highly-trained classroom educators (who are all degreed with 150 hours of training including trauma-informed care, classroom management, CPR/AED & First Aid, and mental health first aid certification).
Medically Accurate Curricula
We develop and use curricula that are medically accurate, evidence-based/evidence-informed, evaluated by IU School of Medicine and Health Care Education & Training (HCET), and fully endorsed by IDOH.
Student Safety
We facilitate safe environments to give students a shame-free, no-judgement space to ask questions, share personal experiences, and safely disclose sensitive information.
WHY IT MATTERS
We help youth begin important conversations about sexual health and abstinence.
LifeSmart Youth has specialized in at-risk community education and uplift since 1943.
Trusted by these Indiana Schools & School Districts
What if sexual and reproductive health was taught from a medically-accurate, apolitical, no-agenda, pro-parent/guardian perspective?
With LifeSmart Youth, it is.
We know that the students we serve come from diverse backgrounds and belief systems. We seek to empower youth while actively supporting parents’/guardians’ roles in educating their children by encouraging partnership as their students’ at-home educators.
