45North - Relationship Training for Public Schools & Youth Groups

45North:
Public Schools

So much sexual trauma and abortion can be prevented if we can reach our kids early. 45North does that.

45North is a medically and scientifically accurate sexual education and relationship training program designed for use in midde schools and high schools. It follows a sexual risk avoidance model that addresses how to eliminate all risk involved with teen sex rather than focusing on reducing teen sex risk by increasing contraceptive usage. 45North is unique in its holistic approach to teaching students about relationships through fun and interactive lessons. Students love that the presenters are authentic and open with them and the parents are happy that they can review the material prior to the lessons. The lessons are designed to be memorable, and make a lasting impression.

45North is made up of trained presenters here in the Gallatin Valley who cherish our youth and desire to see them succeed with healthy relationships and avoid the physical and emotional pain that can come from having sex outside of marriage. We want students to walk away knowing they are valued, cared for and worth the wait.

45North is currently being taught in four public middle schools and one private Christian school to roughly 450 students. Our goal for 45North is to keep increasing those numbers. If you are a parent in southwest Montana who wants 45North brought into your child's, please contact us for more information. If you are interested in being a 45North presenter, we'd love to have you! We will provide training and shadowing. We always need more presenters!

Youth Groups

It is vital that our youth within the church are hearing the truths of God’s design for sexuality and the fundamentals of healthy relationships. 45North supports and affirms Christian parents' messages about sex and relationships to their children while providing a third party authority that youth listen to. It is an effective and engaging solution for church youth group presentations.

45North's goal is that youth would walk away knowing why they are worth the wait. They would understand the fundamentals of healthy relationships, be equipped to set boundaries and know ways to protect themselves from sexual temptation. At the same time, 45North never condemns youth for past experiences, rather encourages them to start fresh and make new choices.

45North continues to expand and wants to help parents with this difficult topic. ZoeCare is currently formulating additional classes and trainings for parents who wish to have more tools in talking to their kids about sex and relationships. Stay tuned!
