Worthy gives middle and high school students seven sessions on healthy relationships, spotting manipulation and making decisions they won't regret. We're now scheduling 2027 school cohorts, and a federal grant covers the cost.

BUILT ON LOVE NOTES, AN EVIDENCE-BASED CURRICULUM
We teach a streamlined version of Love Notes 4.1, approved by The Dibble Institute. Love Notes was tested in a five-year randomized trial led by the University of Louisville, and our facilitators are certified to teach it.
Separate cohorts for middle school and high school students.
Weekly, during a class period, an advisory block or after school.
Small cohorts, so every student takes part.
A federal grant covers facilitators and materials.
Within 60 minutes of Burlington, we teach on-site at your facility.
