Why OWL?
K-1 OWL supports parents in educating children about topics like birth, babies, bodies, families, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, and ability. Curriculum includes stories, songs, activities and a weekly “home link” for parents and children to work on together.
Grade 7-9 OWL is an antidote to sexualized media messages, peer pressure, misinformation, and prejudice. It provides accurate, age-appropriate information, puts sexuality in the context of values and personal responsibility, supports healthy decision making, and strengthens social skills. These skills and values help prepare youth to make healthy choices for life. The class uses an engaging curriculum that addresses topics important to young adolescents, including those typically excluded from sex education and health classes in schools.
Fees: A donation of $120 (for K-1) or $300 (for 7-9) is requested to help defray costs. No one will be turned away for an inability to pay – a sliding scale may be discussed privately.
