The Scenarios USA Speakers Bureau is made up of past winners and participants of the Scenarios USA “What’s the REAL DEAL?” writing contest who are skilled in public speaking on the issues that their films address, including youth development, social justice and sexual health.

The Speakers Bureau is a part of Scenarios USA’s Advocacy Leadership Institute (ALI), which helps young people develop as leaders in their communities and amongst their peers.

Using the film they wrote or helped make as a starting point, Speakers Bureau members talk about how identity and community intersect with social justice issues related to sexual health and education. Here is a sample of topics that Speakers Bureau have spoken on:

• Bridging progressive reproductive health ideals and real teen life
• Confronting stigmas: HIV/AIDS, urban/rural youth, and sexuality
• Using story writing to promote healthy living
• Promoting social justice through filmmaking
• Teens advocating for comprehensive sex education

You can request a speaker for your event by email or phone:

• Email: info@scenariosusa.org
• Phone: (866) 414 1044

We prefer to extend your speaking invitation to all of our Speakers Bureau members to find the best possible match based on the topic and location of your event; however, if you want a specific speaker we will do our best to fulfill your request.

All Speakers Bureau members have participated in the Writing Contest, and you can too:
