Who we are
In 2015 a London lawyer saw a gap: young people weren’t being taught how to understand, talk about, or navigate consent. From that vision, the Schools Consent Project was born.
Since then, over 62,000 students in the UK have taken part in our workshops. We opened in NYC in 2023 and are working with middle and high school students in all five boroughs.
Alongside our work with students, we’ve also expanded into community spaces and family conversations, because we know consent education must extend far beyond the classroom.
What we do
Our mission is to normalize conversations about consent to prevent sexual violence.
We achieve this objective by delivering hour-long lawyer-led workshops to middle and high schoolers on the legal definition of consent, how to identify consent, the age of consent, bystander intervention, the offenses of rape, sexual abuse, explicit images and minors, and options in the event of an assault.
The workshop is delivered through a series of engaging, interactive games and exercises aimed at challenging the students’ misconceptions and unearthing toxic behaviors.

Understanding and abiding by the rules of consent protects both the potential victims and the potential defendants.
Hope
I have not seen my kids engaged this much about anything all year.
I found the topic very interesting. It is something we don’t normally speak about.
The leader was very friendly and personable. I enjoyed learning from her and could tell that she was knowledgeable on the topic.
