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.
For schools
We send lawyers into schools to teach young people the legal definition of consent and key sexual offenses.
We deliver hour-long workshops to middle and high-schoolers on the legal definition of consent, how to identify consent, bystander intervention, key sexual offenses, the ages of consent, and options in the event of an attack.
The workshop is delivered through a series of fun, interactive games and exercises aimed at challenging the students' misconceptions and unearthing problematic attitudes/behaviours. Bringing our professional experience into the classroom means we are able to respond to students' questions with accuracy and authority.
For volunteers
Use your legal skills to deliver this vital work in classrooms across New York City.
Our training process involves 1.5 hour training, hosted at your firm, followed by a 25-minute telephone assessment.
We currently work with top firms and corporates including Amazon, Cleary Gottlieb, Clyde & Co, Covington & Burling, Davis Wright Tremaine, Gibson Dunn, Gucci, Kering, King & Spalding, Morgan Lewis and Morrison Foerster.
To date, we have booked workshops in five boroughs and two languages, with +3500 young people on track to understand consent.
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.
