Our Whole Lives(OWL) Sexuality Education
NOTE:
Because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, OWL programming was suspended in 2020. OWL is an in-person program. OWL resumed in the spring of 2021 and we expect to offer OWL in 2021-22.
Introduction:
The Our Whole Lives (OWL) Lifespan Sexuality Education Program is a well respected sexuality education curriculum which was co-sponsored in 1993 by the Unitarian Universalist Association and the United Church of Christ. The program has curricula for 7 age groups: grades K-1, grades 4-6, grades 7-9, grades 10-12, young adult, adult, and older adult. More detailed information about the OWL program is here.
