Comprehensive Sexuality Education Facilitator

Oak Park Our Whole Lives (OP-OWL) is looking for facilitators to lead our developmentally appropriate comprehensive sexuality education classes in the fall and winter. OP-OWL offers training in the nationally recognized OWL curriculum in exchange for a commitment to:

• Attend a 2.5 day training in OWL facilitation (Sept 5 -7 Sept 15 for Grades 7-12 and Sept 5-7 for Grades K-6).
• Participate in a thorough background check
• Facilitate two sessions (for grades K-6) and one session (grades 9-12) of classes each year, in the fall and winter. Time commitments vary by age group; see schedules on our web page: www.opowl.org

OP-OWL pays for the training and a copy of the OWL curriculum for all facilitators volunteering with our program. Facilitators are guaranteed one spot for a student in the classes (if desired) free of charge.

Good facilitator candidates are:

• Committed to values-based, comprehensive sexuality education.
• Comfortable with their own sexuality.
• Comfortable with the specific age group they plan to facilitate and its developmental needs.
• Anti-bias aware and willing to continue education themselves.
• Advocates for sexual health and safety.
• Dedicated team members and facilitators.

We have a particular need for facilitators who are not women, especially for the secondary school level, and welcome facilitators of all genders, religions, ethnicities and sexual orientations.
