Nobody’s Fool®
is an annual conference for girls and boys entering grades 5 - 9. The
half-day conference is on a weekday and has been held each summer for the last
19 years, with 400-700 children attending each year.
|
|
The purpose of Nobody’s Fool is to encourage
abstinence, promote parent-child communication and give medically accurate and
age-appropriate facts about sexuality issues. These include puberty, healthy
relationships, abuse, disease and pregnancy prevention. |

A team of highly experienced family life educators teaches each class. Following 3 hours of class, lunch is served while door prizes and Nobody^s Fool T-shirts are distributed. The goal for focusing on this age group is to reach children before they enter into dating relationships and to encourage them to go to their parents for information about sensitive topics. The evening before, a "Parent Preview" is held so parents may meet the faculty and experience some of the learning activities themselves.

 The
candy “Now and
Laters” are given to every student at Nobody’s Fool. They are
asked if they have an idea why we chose that brand. Some of the responses are:
“Because what we do now will affect us
later” “We can learn it
now or we can
learn it later” Those are good answers but the real reason is
“You may need what you learned today
now or you may not
need it until much later, but it’s always good to know the facts.” |
