Our MissionTo reduce the suffering of our young adults, specifically as it relates to sexual violence and the prevailing culture dictating dating and relationships.
Our Strategy• Awaken our community to the real pressures young adults face in their relationships
• Facilitate safe and candid conversations that challenge teens to compare cultural pressures to their own relational desires and goals • Present alternative relational scripts that cultivate healthier skills, habits and norms |
