- acceptance of diversity
- encouragement to act for justice
- a well designed, teacher-friendly leaders' guide
- parent orientation programs that affirm parents as the primary sexuality educators of their children
- Sexuality and Our Faith, an optional religious component for Unitarian Universalist and United Church of Christ settings.
