one® college ambassadors: highlights from the spring 2026 cohort

This spring, our ONE® College Ambassadors created interactive, approachable, and peer-focused programming on campuses nationwide around consent, STI prevention, healthy relationships, and safer sex practices. Their peers were beyond interested in participating in the programming and being educated on how to take care of their sexual health and implement small habits that will not only help during undergrad, but become lifelong wellness practices. 

 Key Takeaways (TL;DR) Spring 2026 Semester

• The Spring 2026 ONE® College Ambassador cohort spanned across 59 colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada, expanding peer-led sexual health education nationwide.
  

•  Ambassadors led interactive programming including tabling, large-scale events, creative learning (like bingo and trivia), and creative peer engagement.
  

• Students showed strong engagement with topics like consent, STI prevention, healthy relationships, and safer sex in approachable, stigma-free ways.
  

• Ambassadors also adapted to their campus needs through discrete distribution methods, like safer sex kits, grab-and-go bags, and private condom access points to improve accessibility. 

Throughout the semester, ambassadors hosted a wide range of campus programming including tabling events, creative learning activities, educational presentations, large-scale campus programming, and product distribution. By combining peer education with interactive experiences and accessible safer sex resources, college ambassadors helped normalize conversations around sexual health and wellness in ways that felt relevant, welcoming, and accessible.

Since the ONE® College Ambassador program launched in Fall 2024, tabling has remained one of the most consistent and effective outreach strategies across the ambassador program, allowing ambassadors to connect with their peers in high-traffic areas or during large campus events. With so many impactful events this semester, these highlights below represent just a small snapshot of the creativity, education, and peer engagement our ONE® College Ambassadors brought to their campuses nationwide.

Expanding Access Via Campus Tabling Events

Barrett Clement is an ambassador at The University of Montana, where he has been active in the program since Fall 2025. During the Spring 2026 semester, Barrett tabled as part of the campus wide event “Wellness Wednesday,” hosted at the UM University Center. His outreach approach focused on lowering barriers to engagement through humor, approachability, and light-hearted interactions that encouraged students to stop by, ask questions, and learn more about safer sex education. During the event, Barrett distributed a variety of ONE® products and educational materials, including ONE® Glowing Pleasures™ glow-in-the-dark condoms, ONE® Flex® condoms, and educational pamphlets on topics like consent and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In addition to his work as an ambassador, Barrett also showcased several of his past ONE® Design Contest Honorable Mention submissions from our Art of ONE® program. You might recognize some of his designs: “Roll ONE”, “ONE AM”, “No ONE pregnant”, “Player ONE”, and “ONE was here.”

Cheyenne Kminek is a student at Southern New Hampshire University who jumped in her first semester as an ambassador with enthusiasm and a passion for safer sex peer education. During the Spring 2026 semester, she hosted five campus events focused on consent, pleasure, STI prevention, and safer sex, all designed to feel approachable, engaging and stigma-free for students at SNHU.

Using trivia games, hands-on activities, and attention-grabbing tools like her mascot, Bucky BlueBalls, Cheyenne helped create spaces for open conversations around sexual health. Her programming led up to her final event, “Pleasure Isn’t a Dirty Word,” a daytime sex ed fair that welcomed students of all experience levels into the conversation, whether they considered themselves “sexperts” or were just beginning to learn. During the event, she distributed a range of ONE® products and other condom varieties, along with educational materials like our FitKit® measuring tools, helping her peers explore both options in an accessible way. She also completed condom demonstrations using the new MyONE® Demonstration kit, adding a hands-on layer to her programming. Overall, Cheyenne brought strong energy, care, and an educator mindset to her first semester as an ambassador, making a meaningful impact on sexual health education on her campus.

Interactive Large Campus Events

As part of Middlebury College’s spring arts festival, Nocturn, Max Darrah and the Sex Positive Education for College Students group hosted a “Genitalia Gallery” installation featuring illuminated genitalia artwork displayed throughout a tree with fairy lights. The event created a casual, curiosity-driven environment where students could engage with sexual health resources in a creative and approachable way. With over 200 attendees, the event helped normalize conversations around anatomy and safer sex while distributing a variety of ONE® condom styles, including Classic Select™, Super Studs™, Legend XL™, FlavorWaves®, and Glowing Pleasures™ and educational pamphlets covering consent, STI awareness, and condom facts. One student even shared with Max that “glow-in-the-dark condoms are lit.”

Caitlyn Kratzer is ONE® College Ambassador at Lehigh University and member of Break the Silence (BTS) Peer Educators, a group which has been participating in the ambassador program since Spring 2025. This past February, Caitlyn, along with her BTS peers hosted a "Five Senses of Consent" event in preparation for Valentine’s Day, which focused on consent, body awareness, and intimate communication. 

The event began with Eastern Mediterranean food, a sticker giveaway, and ONE® product distribution before transitioning in a yoga session. The evening concluded with a guided discussion connecting themes from yoga—such as comfort, discomfort, and body awareness—to consent, boundaries, and communication in intimate relationships.

Creative Learning

One of the strongest trends across campuses this semester was the shift towards creative learning. Activities like trivia, bingo, or interactive challenges make learning more engaging, participatory, and student-driven. A great example of this in action came from Allison Bernstein and her fellow HOPE Sexual Health Advocacy Peer Educators at Rutgers University: they brought this energy to life by hosting a Sex Toy Bingo event. 

The event combined bingo, trivia questions, condom relay races, and a brief sexual health presentation to create an experience that felt both educational and fun. Between bingo rounds, students answered trivia questions for prizes while learning more about STI prevention, pregnancy, campus resources, and sexual wellness in a low-pressure environment. 

Allison and her fellow Rutgers HOPE peers’ event highlighted how sex ed bingo has become one of the most successful engagement formats across our ambassador program. By turning education into an interactive experience, ambassadors were able to create a space where students felt more comfortable participating, asking questions, and openly engaging in conversations around sexual health.

Experiences like this reflect a broader pattern seen across campuses, where bingo in particular emerged as a strong and accessible format for peer-led education. Building on this trend, ONE® developed ONE® Bingo, a sexual health and wellness resource to help ambassadors streamline event planning and prep while bringing more interactive, approachable sexual health education into their programming. 

During the Spring 2026 semester, ambassadors across campuses began to incorporate ONE® Bingo into their own programming, adapting it in ways that fit their campus communities and event goals. At Southern Illinois Edwardsville, Diksha Negi used the format to support her presentation about STIs, consent, and contraception, helping reinforce key learning points. At Baruch College, Kenia Guzman brought ONE® Bingo into her programming to spark conversation and participation around consent and other safer sex topics. At the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, Elie Stahl took the concept a step further by creating her own customized bingo template to better align with her event needs and audience engagement style. Meanwhile, at California State University Chico, Snehitha Gorantla incorporated ONE® Bingo into her “Between the Sheets & the Science” event, where it served as an effective icebreaker to ease students into conversations around sexual health and safe sex practices.

From Hesitation to Innovation: How Ambassadors Have Reimagined Condom Distribution

While many ambassadors focused on visible campus outreach through tabling, games, and large-scale events, others recognized that not every student feels comfortable engaging with safer sex products or resources in public settings. In response, ambassadors began exploring more discreet and accessible approaches to distribution that prioritized privacy, comfort, and ease of access for students who may feel hesitant, uncertain, or stigmatized when seeking out these resources. 

The approach ambassadors across campuses began using was turning their outreach inward by creating safer sex kits, goodie bags, and discreet resource packets designed to meet students where they are and make access to safer sex products feel more comfortable. While the College Ambassador program is open to all college students in the U.S. and Canada, conversations around sexual health education are not always equally supported everywhere. According to the Guttmacher Institute, sex education policies vary widely by state, with differences in what can be taught, how it’s discussed, and whether topics like contraception are even required to be medically accurate.

That reality is exactly why our college ambassadors matter. They are student changemakers, committed to education, accessibility, and helping their peers feel informed without shame or stigma. When ambassadors were faced with distribution challenges, student hesitancy, or privacy concerns, they leaned into more discreet methods to help ensure that sexual health resources could reach students in ways that felt comfortable, respectful, and accessible while reducing barriers to engagement.

Examples of ambassador-created safer sex kits, bingo prize bags, and discreet condom pickup setups used across campuses by Angelina Chavera, Kenia Guzman, Diksha Negi, Elton Boose.

With over 11,000 condoms distributed this past semester, the ONE® College Ambassador Program made a significant impact across campuses nationwide by expanding access to sexual health education and normalizing conversations around condoms education, consent, STI prevention, healthy relationships, and safer sex. Through creative programming, interactive events, and peer-led outreach, ambassadors transformed stigmatized topics into approachable, engaging learning experiences. Their work strengthened campus communities by encouraging open dialogue, reducing stigma, and equipping students with practical knowledge and resources to support their sexual health beyond the classroom.
