Our greatest asset at ReL8 is our staff and volunteers - Team 8. The message of ReL8 is important, but the "messengers" - or Team 8 members are just as, or even more important. Members of Team 8 are committed to ReL8's core values - specifially saving sex for marriage.
When you have ReL8 into your classroom, look for some of the following faces! Read on to learn a little more about our Team 8 members(more coming soon).
