In this completely secular program, youth will learn about the power of language, anatomy, puberty and other life changes, body image, gender, attraction, bias, consent, relationship dynamics, media literacy and online safety (including generative AI and sexting, and social media), and preventive sexual health care (vaccines; pregnancy and outcomes; various exams, what they involve, and when they might be necessary: contraception; STI prevention and testing, etc.). They will also learn to maintain healthy boundaries and center their personal values while respecting others’ boundaries and values.


Stellar Sexual Health Education (by RISE: Healthy for Life) engages participants in an expansive exploration of their inner and outer space. It fundamentally changes the way we do sexuality education. Free of judgment, Stellar dismantles stigma and invites honest, compassionate curiosity about bodies, identities, and relationships.

RISE's programs are interactive and engaging. They are inclusive, affirming, and fact-based. This is not your grandma's sex ed!

Guardians are welcome to reach out to Jess Ox at dre@hvuuc.org with any questions/concerns about the program.
