Help bring free endometriosis education to schools and communities.
Endo Educators are volunteers who help expand access to accurate, compassionate endometriosis education through ENPOWR, the Endometriosis Foundation of America’s youth-centered education program.
By connecting schools, colleges, community organizations, and local events with ENPOWR resources, Endo Educators help ensure that more young people and trusted adults have the information they need to recognize symptoms, reduce stigma, and support earlier conversations about care.
Why This Work Matters
Endometriosis symptoms often begin during adolescence, but many young people are told that severe pain is simply a normal part of having a period.
This can leave students feeling confused, dismissed, or alone—and can delay conversations with trusted adults and healthcare providers.
Endo Educators help change that by making reliable information more visible in the places where young people learn, gather, and seek support.
What Endo Educators Do
Endo Educators serve as local ENPOWR representatives and community liaisons. Depending on their interests, location, and available opportunities, they may:
-
Connect schools, colleges, and community organizations with ENPOWR’s free educational resources
-
Help coordinate classroom presentations, staff education, assemblies, or informational tables
-
Share ENPOWR materials at health fairs, community events, campus events, and awareness activities
-
Introduce school nurses, educators, coaches, counselors, and other trusted adults to available resources
-
Support outreach to local partners using ENPOWR’s staff-approved templates and tools
-
Help report back on outreach activities and collect program feedback when applicable
Endo Educators are never expected to diagnose anyone, provide medical advice, or independently answer complex health questions. Our team provides guidance, materials, and support throughout the process.
