General Projects
Breaking Free (Eugene, OR)
Youth Empowered to End Sexual Violence: This project provides research-backed empowerment training to girls ages 11-18 and related adults, and involves them in efforts to end sexual violence. The curriculum provides information, teaches skills and promotes behaviors for primary sexual assault prevention through reducing risk and enhancing safety; develops skills to identify, avoid and resist sexual violence, promote healthy relationships and build postive self-esteem; and empowers youth to be community agents of change. The project also involves a co-ed group of young people from outside the classes in theater and other creative projects about sexual violence, which they will design and take to their peers.
Central Oregon Battering and Rape Alliance (Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson Counties)
Changing Attitudes: This project provides training for students, volunteers and educators to model non-violent behavior. Through training, public education campaigns and coordinated community interventions, this project will cultivate changes to attitudes that increase the acceptance of intervening as a bystander to prevent violence. The project activities will encourage men and women to take on leadership roles in their schools and communities to encourage a community-wide discussion about gender violence and to reverse the conditioning that people have to be passive bystanders in the face of sexist abuse and violence.
Haven from Domestic Violence (Wasco County)
Education for Adolescent Males and Females: This project will provide a curriculum to adolescent boys and girls in Wasco County which focuses on defining healthy relationships, developing individual knowledge, and changing attitudes and behaviors.
