Kentucky Catholic university posted Planned Parenthood job opening

December 02, 2009

“Interested in health related issues? Become a Planned Parenthood of Kentucky Peer Educator!” reads a job announcement posted by Bellarmine University’s career office late last year. The peer educator’s duty is to “provide education, information, and resources on healthy sexuality such as body image; sexual and reproductive anatomy; abstinence; methods of birth control and safer sex; STI/HIV infection; sexual decision-making and communication skills; healthy relationships; and legal rights of KY teens and youth.”

Founded in 1950 by the Archdiocese of Louisville, the university has 3,040 students, 2,344 of them undergraduates. “Bellarmine is a university Catholic in its roots and ongoing tradition,” notes the school’s mission statement. “We are especially inspired by Thomas Merton, the late monk from the Abbey of Gethsemani who had a long, vital relationship with Bellarmine. His philosophy and writings on the search for truth, religious inquiry, the nature of humanity, the value of cross-cultural and inter-faith awareness and diversity, and his advocacy for peace, social justice and sustainability are at the core of our community values and our Catholic identity.”
