We offer OWL programs as part of our participation in a metro-Atlanta, ecumenical OWL coalition.
Our Whole Lives is a series of comprehensive, lifespan sexuality education curricula written by professional educators for use in faith and secular settings.
Our Whole Lives is a comprehensive, kindergarten through adult, sexuality education curriculum series that is based on a philosophy of comprehensive sexuality education. It has been designed to help participants make informed and responsible decisions about their sexual health and behaviors. It equips participants with accurate, age-appropriate information in six subject areas:
human development
relationships
personal skills
sexual behavior
sexual health
society and culture
Grounded in a holistic view of sexuality, comprehensive sexuality education provides not only facts about anatomy and human development, but also helps learners to clarify their values, build interpersonal skills, and understand the spiritual, emotional, social, and political aspects of sexuality as well, helping them to make informed and value-based choices.
OWL was developed as a partnership between the United Church of Christ and the Unitarian Universalist Association; however, the core curricula do not include religious references or doctrine. OWL has two companion resources that include faith conversations. Central will use the UCC faith companion as a complement to the foundational program.
All facilitators and hospitality hosts have passed background checks and engaged in “Safe Sanctuary” training provided by Praesidium.
Our Whole Lives (OWL) values:
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. Trained facilitators guide participants through an engaging curriculum that addresses topics most important to young adolescents, including those typically excluded from sexuality education and health classes.
We completed our Fall 7-9 program in November. Our partner churches are hosting K-1 and 4-6(enrollment full) this spring. Please check back here for more info soon!
