"I am so grateful my daughter had the opportunity to participate in this wonderful program. I cannot say enough good things about the curriculum and our local facilitators in particular. They empower young people with important information to make informed decisions about their sexual health and well being."

MORE ABOUT OWL

Our Whole Lives is an antidote to sexualized media messages, peer pressures, misinformation and prejudice. It provides accurate, age-appropriate information, puts sexuality in the context of values and personal responsibility, supports healthy decision-making, and strengthens social skills.

OWL models and teaches caring, compassion, respect and justice. It helps adolescents address their attitudes, values, and feelings about
themselves, their sexuality, and others’ sexuality. Participants are guided by trained facilitators through an engaging curriculum over 9 months that addresses topics most important to young adolescents, including those typically excluded from sexuality education and health classes.
