The Problem

Nobody is more intimately connected with the impact of teen partner rape/violence then the brave young men and women who have survived it. A group of survivors from various backgrounds come together to raise awareness about the issue of teen partner rape/violence, spread the word and share their own personal stories. Nothing is off limits, nothing is too personal, and everything is discussed. The only way to thrive & heal, is to share. And the knowledge of a survivor is priceless. The issue is presented in an intimate setting of high schools, youth groups, group homes, etc.

Plan of Action

-Contacting local schools and offering to speak about the issue of teen dating violence -Creating an outline of our workshop/seminar that can be presented to administration in various places (i.e high schools, group homes) -Raising awareness within our own communities -Recruiting more volunteers -Educating ourselves so we are better equipped to educate others -Create an awareness website and a website where we can be contacted -Compile a list of useful resources to pass along to places we visit. -Establish ourselves as a youth-outreach organization.
