Safe Night Out

Off to College: Talking about Safety, Consent, and Healthy Relationships
As summer winds down, many of you are sending a child off to college. Whether it is your own child or a youth you care about, your emotions are likely mixed. Sexual assault is part of the college experience for too many youth with 23% of females and 5% of males experiencing sexual assault during their college years.
Youth Education Program
WEAVE’s Youth Education Program provides presentations in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and various youth groups in Sacramento County. The program provides age and developmentally appropriate education about bodily autonomy, consent, gender socialization, boundaries, healthy vs. unhealthy relationships, dating and sexual violence. The presentations include a combination of lecture, role play, and class participation.
