Since 2006, ReL8 has been equipping youth with information and relationship skills they need to make educated, factual, and positive choices for their lives – especially in the area of sexual health. The truth is powerful – abstinence is the only 100% effective way to avoid the risks of sex outside of marriage.
Through partnerships with schools like yours, we have been able to reach more than 18,000 students in downstate Illinois. ReL8 believes in our youth and their ability to avoid risky behaviors – including sexual activity. Abstinence is not only realistic, but for most teens it is reality. As indicated by our Key Findings, together we are making a marked difference in the lives of our youth.
As an educator, you probably want to make sure that having a guest presenter in your classroom is worthwhile. ReL8 is committed to making our experience in your classroom positive and professional. ReL8 educators currently teach the ReL8 Learn It. Live It. curricula in grades 6-12. This part of the site is dedicated to giving you information about ReL8, our Class 8 presentations in schools and our curricula. Some important aspects of Class 8 to point out are:
• The curriculum meets all state and federal A-H guidelines for sex education
• The educator and materials for each student are FREE to schools
• All ReL8 educators have been certified as a Primary Level 1 Abstinence Educator by The National Abstinence Clearinghouse (www.abstinence.net)
• The program is flexible and can be implemented into any current health curriculum
• The curriculum is 8 chapters, requiring 8 class periods or at least 30 minutes per chapter to complete the program
• We offer Parent ReL8 Workshops in conjunction with the classroom presentations
