What is OWL?

OWL is a comprehensive, lifespan sexuality education curricula for use in both secular settings and faith communities. The program offers honest, accurate information about how sexuality changes lives. It works to dismantle stereotypes and assumptions, build self-acceptance and self-esteem, foster healthy relationships, and improve decision-making. OWL has the potential to save lives. For these reasons and more, we are proud to offer the program at our congregation.

When is OWL Offered?

The program takes place during the school year, typically beginning in mid-October and concluding in mid-to late-April. We do not meet during public school vacation weeks and holiday weekends.

Who can Enroll in OWL?

We offer OWL programming for 7th and 8th graders.
