Jocelyn Benson

is trained as teacher of the Young Adult/Adult Our Whole Lives comprehensive sex education program.
As an undergraduate at Wellesley College,
Jocelyn spent two years as president of the Sexual
Health Educators (SHEs), one of the country's leading college sexual health peer educator groups.
During her time as a SHE, Jocelyn held the record for the number of sex questions she received
from students -- excellent preparation for her future work as a sex educator!
Students appreciate Jocelyn's energy and savvy insights about sexuality. When she's not teaching
about sex on college campuses, Jocelyn does research and consulting for the health care industry,
where she describes her favorite projects as those relating to women's sexual health and "icky
diseases." She and her husband live in New York City.

Melissa has a decade of experience as a bellydancer and dance teacher,
helping her male and female students develop positive body image as they
