Our Whole Lives (OWL)

Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a comprehensive lifespan sexuality education program. To inquire about our next OWL classes, please contact [email protected].

Note: Under the advisement of national staff for Our Whole Lives, OWL cannot run in any form until we are in person again. For support talking to your children about human sexuality, check out the “Parents and Caregivers as Sexuality Educators” curriculum (Not currently offered as small group at SVUUS.)

Founded in 1999, OWL is a collaboration between the United Church of Christ and the Unitarian Universalist Church.

OWL covers human development, relationships, personal skills, sexual behavior, sexual health, and society and culture. It contains no religious references or doctrine.

OWL is used in faith communities as well as by public, charter, and private schools; after-school programs; youth groups; home schoolers; colleges; and groups in other settings.

OWL classes are taught by trained volunteers following a set curriculum. For more information, click here.

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.
