Our Whole Lives
Sexuality Education for Grades 7-8

WHAT? A positive, comprehensive, non-religious, values-based educational program that helps participants gain the knowledge, values, and skills to lead sexually healthy, responsible lives. Specially trained instructors will offer the first five units this spring; the next six will be offered next fall.

  • Unit One: Group Building & Examining Values Sat Mar 15

  • Unit Two: Sexuality & Body Awareness Sun Mar 16

  • Unit Three: Gender & Diversity Sat Apr 12 9am–6pm

  • Unit Four: Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity Sat Apr 26 9am–6pm

  • Unit Five: Relationships Saturday, May 10, 9 am through Sunday, May 11, 8:30 am

The OWL program was developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association and the United Church of Christ. Its overall goal is to help participants make informed and responsible decisions about their sexual health and behavior. It not only provides facts about anatomy, but also helps participants to clarify their values, build interpersonal skills, and understand the spiritual, emotional, and social aspects of sexuality.

WHO? Students in grades 7 and 8 are welcome. Because group dynamics require that all participants be present from the beginning and at each session, we ask families to commit to students’ attendance at all four gatherings. If this is impossible, let us know and we’ll see what we can work out.

WHERE? The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Grand Traverse, 6726 Center Road, Traverse City, MI 49686.

HOW MUCH? The classes are free of charge for pledging members of UUCGT. For other families, we ask a freewill donation (suggested: $25-$50, more or less as you are able).
