Youth Outreach.

We want to get to the heart of the issue. That’s why we prioritize educating young people about authentic love, healthy relationships, and the merits of waiting until marriage to engage in sexual activity. We want to raise up a generation of happy, healthy, and life-minded youth.

A Faith Based Approach.

We empower young men and women to embrace the joy and freedom that comes with living our sexuality according to God's plan. Our goal is to educate with love and logic, allowing God to work through us to raise up a generation of Saints.


Faith-Based Programs.

Love & Life Project.

Our team of young adults presents at churches about authentic love and the joy that comes with living according to God’s plan for our sexuality. These presentations are ideal for large groups. We want to empower youth to save sexual activity for marriage so they can live happy, healthy, and holy lives.

Presentation Topics.

  • Theology of the Body

  • Holy Friendships & Dating

  • Dignity of Human Life (Pro-life topics, Abortion, Assisted Suicide, Etc)

Small Groups.

If you know young men and women who want to dive deeper into this topic, we offer regular small group meetings. We can meet at Woodbury Options for Women or at your church. Small group topics can be chosen based on the interests of the group.

Secular Approach.

We take a secular approach in order to take our message into Public Schools, teaching a curriculum written by the Center for Relationship Education called ‘Real Essentials’. This public health model approach is fact-based and science driven, emphasizing healthy relationships and the benefits of avoiding sexual intimacy outside of marriage.


Secular Programs.

Real Essentials Series.

Public health model that teaches about healthy decisions and relationships. Created by the Center for Relationship Education, the curriculum is fact-based and research-driven. Since Minnesota requires abstinence education, this is ideal for health classes in public or private schools. (Grades 7-12)

TeenFEMM.

We refer teens to FEMM teachers. FEMM or Fertility Education and Medical Management helps teens identify the link between reproductive hormones and all areas of health. Classes cover the link between hormones and health, brain development, and changing emotions, lifestyle choices, sexual health, and STI’s.

Presentation Topics.

  • Sexual Risk Avoidance & Dating

  • Harms of Pornography

  • Human Dignity (Abortion, Assisted Suicide, Etc)

 

Did You Know?

Minnesota is well on its way to mandating that Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) be taught in Minnesota’s elementary and secondary schools. CSE may sound harmless, especially when it goes by its alternative name, “abstinence plus.” But don’t be fooled, these titles disguise a curriculum that is far from harmless. Explore the links below to see what curriculum is being pushed on your children.

  • The CSE guidelines encourage teaching elementary school children about self-pleasure.

  • SIECUS normalizes casual sex and the subsequent contraction of STI’s as a natural outcome.

    Learn More. “Remember that STIs are common. Like, very common. We’ve got to acknowledge that many people have STIs. And STIs aren’t a consequence of “bad” behavior. And, it’s also crucial to understand that, while not ideal, contracting an STI is more likely than not.”

  • CSE only talks about sex in the context of pleasure and discusses how different sexual acts can offer pleasure.

  • Guidelines teach that anal and oral sex are good alternatives to sexual intercourse to avoid the risk of unwanted pregnancy.

  • CSE promotes having sex “when you feel ready” yet fails to outline the well-documented risks of engaging in early sexual activity.

  • CSE presents abortion as a valid option and as a right.

    Learn More. Scroll to page 61. “The right of women to have legal abortions is being challenged in a variety of ways in the United States.”

  • CSE fails to outline any negative side-effects or outcomes of contraception.

  • CSE includes graphic children’s books for elementary sex education.
