Sexuality Education Advocacy Training
Interested in sex education?
Wish more people had access to amazing programs like Our Whole Lives (OWL) and Sacred Choices?
Feel passionate about advocacy or community organizing?
Come put your POWER into ACTION at the 2010 Sexuality Education Advocacy Training! The Sexuality Education Advocacy Training (SEAT) is an annual collaboration between the Unitarian Universalist Association, the United Church of Christ, Advocates for Youth, The Religious Action Center of Reform Judiasm and the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.
The 6th annual SEAT will be held on March 20-23, 2010, in Washington, DC! Apply today!
Through workshops on community organizing, advocacy and anti-racism/anti-oppression, SEAT teaches youth, young adults and adult allies how to advocate effectively as people of faith for comprehensive sex education.
We welcome and encourage applicants from ALL spiritual/religious communities. Our programs are grounded in Unitarian Universalist, United Church of Christ and Reform Jewish values and faith traditions, and we look forward to creating a diverse spiritual community in which to learn, worship and advocate.
The four day training is a great opportunity to become more involved in advocacy and to lobby on Capitol Hill.
"To offer sexuality education in a congregation
is to acknowledge that human sexuality is simply
too important
too beautiful and
too potentially dangerous
to be ignored in a religious community."
Rev. Lena Breen, Mt. Vernon, WA
For over 35 years, the United Church of Christ has encouraged churches to study human sexuality and has published life-span comprehensive resources for use not only in the faith community, but also in secular settings.
Our resources, Our Whole Lives-Sexuality and Our Faith , Created in God's Image and Affirming Persons, Saving Lives are age-appropriate, medically-accurate, and have both immediate relevance and applicability for later life.
In addition, they emphasize and underscore the values of love, mutuality, self worth, health, responsibility, justice and inclusivity.
