OWL curricula
Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a series of sexuality education curricula for six age groups: grades K-1, grades 5-6, grades 7-9, grades 10-12, young adults (ages 18-35), and adults. 
Our Whole Lives helps participants make informed and responsible decisions about their sexual health and behavior. It equips participants with accurate, age-appropriate information in six subject areas: human development, relationships, personal skills, sexual behavior, sexual health, and society and culture. Grounded in a holistic view of sexuality, Our Whole Lives not only provides facts about anatomy and human development, but also helps participants clarify their values, build interpersonal skills, and understand the spiritual, emotional, and social aspects of sexuality.

OWL logo
Our Whole Lives (OWL) is an excellent, comprehensive sexuality education program that offers our young people the opportunity to explore their values and gain accurate information about topics that are often not easily accessible. The overall goal is to help participants gain the knowledge, values, and skills they need to lead sexually healthy, responsible lives. We are proud that our congregations recognize that in order for young people to grow into spiritually whole, mature individuals we need to address the topic of sexuality. The material on Sexuality and Our Faith connects our religious beliefs with sexuality, spirituality, and issues of justice. ​​More info about OWL can be found on the Unitarian Universalist Association website at uua.org/re/owl/.

​Each level of Our Whole Lives offers:
  • Up-to-date information and honest, age-appropriate answers to all participants' questions
  • Activities to help participants clarify values and improve decision-making skills
  • Effective group-building to create a safe and supportive peer group
  • Education about sexual abuse, exploitation, and harassment
  • Opportunities to critique media messages about gender and sexuality
  • Acceptance of diversity
  • Encouragement to act for justice
  • Parent orientation programs that affirm parents as the primary sexuality educators of their children ​​
The Our Whole Lives Values
  • Self Worth
  • Sexual Health
  • Responsibility
  • Justice and Inclusivity​​
Schedule
OWL is administered at First Church on a rotating, alternating-year schedule for the following age groups:
  • Grades K-1
  • Grades 4-6
  • Grades 7-9
  • Grades 10-12
  • Young Adults (ages 18-35)
