Summary of Curriculum:
JLoveandValues is the brainchild of youth development specialist Mara Yacobi. Growing up, Yacobi received a private Jewish education where learning about puberty, healthy relationships, and HIV/AIDS was off-limits at a pivotal time in her life. After working as a social worker and health educator for Planned Parenthood, Yacobi decided to combine her clinical experience with her background in sexuality teaching and knowledge of the greater Jewish community. Yacobi’s workshops cover a variety of topics that fall under the umbrellas of sexuality and life skills. While most of the workshops are geared towards girls, Yacobi offers a workshop on parenting with Jewish values, as well as a mother-daughter workshop.
