BRISTOL — How do you get a group of teens to discuss and learn about the socially taboo and awkward topic of sex?
Give them $100.
That’s the strategy Jim Lockridge, director of The Hub teen center, and Ryan Krushenick, program coordinator at the Bristol center, are taking to engage young adults in a federally funded sex education program. To encourage local teens to participate in the course, which begins Monday, May 14, at The Hub, Lockridge and Krushenick are earmarking for participants one-third of the $300-per-person funding provided by the feds.
