Our Whole Lives

OWL Sexuality Education is offered at six levels based on development appropriateness:  

K-1st Grade

This session supports parents in educating children about birth, babies, bodies and families, engaging children with stories, songs, and activities.

4-6th Grade

In this session, kids learn about and discuss the physical and emotional changes of puberty. Participants will read It’s Perfectly Normal by Robie H. Harris, and will examine topics such as values and sexuality, community, and decision-making.

7-9th Grade

This curriculum models and teaches caring, compassion, respect, and justice. This is a holistic program that moves beyond the intellect to address the attitudes, values, and feelings that youth have about themselves and the world. 

10-12th Grade

Using a comprehensive approach, this program helps senior-high youth gain the knowledge, life principles, and skills they need to express their sexuality in life-enhancing ways. 

Young Adult

Helps participants navigate young adulthood with accurate information, increased self-knowledge, enhanced safety, and strengthened interpersonal skills.

Adult

Using values, communication skills and spirituality as starting points, this program explores sexuality issues for adults of all ages. Builds understanding of healthy sexual relationships, affirms diversity, and helps participants accept and affirm their own sexuality throughout their lives.
