About Me

Hey teens! So, you're probably wondering who or what Teen Council is. Well, we're just gonna tell you! First off, let us just say we are not an 87-year-old female. Teen Council is a part of Planned Parenthood, which was founded 87 years ago, by Margaret Sanger.
What is Teen Council?Teen Council are groups of teens in the Portland/Metro, Salem/Woodburn, and Bend areas sponsored by Planned Parenthood. We focus on peer-to-peer education dealing with sex and sexuality among teens and adolescents.
What does Teen Council Do?..We talk to you! Teen Council members are trained to talk about reproductive health (such birth control,condom use,and STD/STIs), teach sex Ed in the classroom, and be a resource for your friends and peers to turn to with their questions.
Why does Teen Council have a Myspace?Teen Council has a myspace so we can more easily talk with you. Have a question? Then send a message! Wanna join Teen Council? Send a message!Also all services that Teen Council renders are 100% confidential, and we do not have to report anything you tell us to anyone. First and foremost, we are friends, then educators.
What are Some Benefits of Being a Teen Council Member?You gain vital knowledge of sex and sexual health, which is a hot button topic in society today, so why not be educated about it? As well as some fun retreats and getting to know tons of new people! And we can't forget the free food and condoms!
How Do I Get in Contact with my Nearest Teen Council?
Simple! Just send us a message and we'll get you in contact with a local Teen Council, or you can call this number: (503) 775-4931 ex. 2229
