We believe that education is prevention.

We give young people a legal toolkit to change the culture in schools, universities and workplaces, and drive down sexual violence.

I have not seen my kids engaged this much about anything all year.

Schools Consent Project in NYC School

For schools

We send lawyers into schools to teach young people the legal definition of consent. 

 

We deliver hour-long workshops on how to identify consent, bystander intervention, key sexual offenses, the age of consent, options in the event of an attack, and more—through a series of interactive exercises that challenge students' common misconceptions.

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.
