You're Invited!!!

Who: Any youth in grades 10th-12th, led by three facilitators: Tina Ruth, Nancy Schulz, Jeremiah Eckhaus (all trained extensively in OWL curriculum) Spread the word to your kids and their friends.

What: Our Whole Lives, a comprehensive sexuality education program. It's free, it's non-religious, and amazing! For a list of the topics covered, please email ucm.dre@gmail.com

When: 2 hours workshop sessions with youth, 11:30-1:30 Sundays (see below for more detailed schedule)
Parent Meeting (mandatory for participation) Sun. 9/25, 6:30-9pm

Where: Unitarian Church of Montpelier (the curriculum is secular), 130 Main St. in Montpelier

Why: 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. Most school sex-ed programs fall far short, as we know if we had them in school. This programs helps address issues that are challenging for parents to know how to address, many involving the internet and social media.

How: Please register email ucm.dre@gmail.com to RSVP for the parent meeting this Sunday. We need to get the class size up to at least 8 youth, and are currently only at four, so please forward this to others who might be interested. There is also an event page on the Unitarian Church of Montpelier's Facebook page.
