UUTC will offer the Our Whole Lives (OWL) sexuality education program for youth aged 4th grade to 6th grade.  

OWL provides accurate, developmentally appropriate information about a range of topics, including sexuality and values, images in popular culture, body image, changes in puberty, gender, feelings and attraction, reproduction, decision making, consent, resisting peer pressure, and healthy relationships.  The program covers 10 workshops over 6 meetings.  

OWL is led by trained facilitators who provide honest  information that is LGBTQ+ affirming, scientifically accurate, dismantles stereotypes and assumptions, builds self-acceptance and self-esteem, fosters healthy relationships, improves decision making, and has the potential to save lives.

The program educates all genders together for  sessions, and provides time to discuss puberty and body related topics in a gender divided session.  Sessions are led by two facilitators and the material is non-religious and applicable to all youth regardless of their faith background.

More information on the program is available at  https://www.uua.org/lifespan/owl/why-owl. 

When:  Most Sunday afternoons at 4PM to 6PM from March 1 to April 19, with a “Graduation and Recognition Service” on April 26, 2026 at UUTC at 10AM.

Where:  Unitarian Universalists of Transylvania County (24 Varsity Dr.) in Brevard, NC.

Cost: $75 for UUTC and $100 for non members.  Scholarships are available so please contact Kevin (Kevin@uutc.org).

The required PARENT/GUARDIAN MEETING is on Sunday, February 22  at 4PM at UUTC so the curriculum can be reviewed and questions can be answered.  You are welcome to attend the Parents/Guardian Meeting and then decide if OWL is right for your family (i.e., no obligation).
