Sexuality Education: OWL Program see below...

Youth Program is for Grades 6-12

Middle and High School Youth meet during the school year from 11:00am – 12:15pm in the downstairs rooms.  Snacks are available to munch.

Gathering begins with chalice lighting and check-in -- each person shares the joys and tribulations they experienced during the week.

Youth or the advisors share a reading, or other provocative item to generate discussion, or we take time out to play games and laugh.

Youth also plan ways to be involved in church, social and community events:

• Plan the Sunday gatherings

• Youth-led Sunday worship

• Music performances at the Alternative service

• One or more  led by Youth around a topic.

• We encourage the teens to plan and participate in Special Teen Events: 

River Rafting the Mckenzie River
Haunted Maze at Lone Pine Farms
BowlingSleepovers at the church: bring your favorite board game!
Eugene Stream Team clean-up day on the creek
Helping package food at Food For Lane County

At particular times of the year, or rotating years, there are also 

• Youth Conferences
• OWL Program
• Coming of Age

Interfaith OWL Program running for Middle and High Schoolers 

The middle school and high school groups are half way through, lead by a liberal inter-faith team of facilitators who have all been trained in the program.

I can think of no greater gift to give our teens than the gift of self-knowledge, self-expression, and self-love. By providing a safe format to discuss and explore the topics of sexuality, we support our youth in their journey toward adulthood, and provide them with a strong foundation for making positive, joyful, and respectful choices their whole lives long!  

Please contact me if you have questions on upcoming OWL classes for other ages in the coming year.  Katy, DRE.

Parents complete a mandatory parent orientation so their child or teen can participate, with full confidence of the parents, and the facilitators, that all materials are acceptable to be shown to every child.  Printed materials will also be made available upon request.  

• Each session for the middle school teens will run one and a half hours, from 7-8:30 on Thursdays at UUCE.
