OUR WHOLE LIVES (OWL)

First Parish Unitarian Universalist 7th and 8th graders are participating in this critically acclaimed human sexuality education curriculum. Students from First Parish Unitarian Universalist of Cohasset, First Parish/Old Ship of Hingham and Second Parish Unitarian Universalist of Hingham meet weekly at Old Ship with trained OWL facilitators to learn a comprehensive approach to sexuality and relationships. Because this curriculum is so intensive and group cohesiveness is so critical, all participants register by September.

GRADES: 9th through 12th

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP

All First Parish Unitarian Universalist 9th through 12th graders are invited to participate in First Parish UU's Senior High Youth Group. High school students meet regularly to build a closely knit caring community and to get involved in a number of community outreach initiatives and social justice activities.
