Offering OWL in Your Community
Honest, accurate information about sexuality changes lives. It dismantles stereotypes and assumptions, builds self-acceptance and self-esteem, fosters healthy relationships, improves decision making, and has the potential to save lives. For these reasons and more, we are proud to offer Our Whole Lives (OWL), a comprehensive, lifespan sexuality education curricula for use in both secular settings and faith communities.
OWL is co-published by the Unitarian Universalist Association and the United Church of Christ. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of this unique partnership
