Our Whole Lives is a comprehensive and progressive sex education curriculum that supports participants in making 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.

Our hopeful schedule:

We offer OWL classes based on availability of volunteer facilitators, with the intention of offering every child and youth level every other year and adult levels when interest warrants.

  • 8th & 9th – October 2024-May 2025 (and again in the ’26-’27 school year)
  • K-1st – Spring 2025
  • 10th-12th – in the ’25-’26 school year, depending on interest
  • 5th & 6th Grade – Feb-May 2024 (and again in the spring of 2026)

All classes are offered to members and regular attendees of First UU first and opened up to community members only if spots are available. 

Reach out to our OWL Coordinator, Kinsey Shackelford, if you have any questions or are interested in becoming an OWL Facilitator.
