Smart Mature Xtra Youthful 

The SECOND annual S.M.X.Y GALA for high school students (ages 14-18) is almost here! Dress up as your favorite SMXY ICON whether it’s Beyonce, Madonna, Sexyy Red, Lil Nas X, Jimi Hendrix, etc., and come turn up! This is a FREE themed youth dance party where parent participation is encouraged. The event includes free food, drinks, good music, face painting, and also sexual health resources! Youth will be able to have fun in a safe space while simultaneously parents/caregivers will be PAID to help as chaperons, security, and servers. Chaperones will receive a stipend for an hour or two of their time. Chaperons are also encouraged to dress up as well!

​

The goal of this community engagement event is to help end the stigma surrounding sexual health and connect community members with organizations best equipped to support/educate them. As a company, RBrown Advocacy aims to both uplift the community specifically the BIPOC LGBTQ+ youth and their families. We help bridge the gap in parents-to-youth involvement in local events such as these and many other concepts come to life. Both youth and parent/caretaker participants will be able to take resources from local organizations offering education or/and testing services including San Francisco AIDS Foundation in San Francisco and Advocates For Youth based in Washington DC but organizes both nationally and internationally.
