What it reported doing in 2024

Education, training and youth empowerment: education is central to our work. This year, we embraced the joy and humor that come with teaching youth. Through playful activities and open conversations about sex and bodies, we created spaces where young people felt safe asking awkward, important questions-and left feeling more confident and informed. We also worked with caregivers, educators, and workplaces to build understanding of trauma, healthy relationships, and the role everyone plays in shifting culture. Our trainings helped people recognize harm, respond with care, and foster supportive environments where everyone feels safe, seen, and supported-even when harm occurs. Whether in classrooms or workplaces, we sparked honest conversations, explored culture, and problem-solved together. By blending joy, honesty, and care, we created spaces where learning thrives and resilience grows- building lasting change through education that connects and empowers. Our youth empowerment work remained rooted in affirming young people's leadership, curiosity, and capacity to create change. Their ideas and actions reminded us that prevention doesn't live in a silo; it lives in the bold, everyday choices young people make when they are supported, believed in, and heard. More than 1,900 youth from 12 schools participated in prevention programming. Eight student leaders from different schools worked together on violence prevention in their schools, and 50 students across Washington county participated in sexual violence prevention and awareness clubs. Empowerment programming included take back the night planning committee, a youth peer advocacy program training, a bipoc youth group, and a club called, "the conversation," centered around creating a culture of consent within the school community. We also offered classroom education around consent, healthy relationships, boundaries, and sexual health-from early childhood through high school. Programs like let's talk sex, and mattering and belonging helped youth to understand their bodies, communicate clearly, and build strong connections.
