Youth Summit to End Sexual Violence in One Generation: Applications for planning council

The California Coalition Against Sexual Assault / PreventConnect, the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence, and the National Sexual Violence Resource are on a mission to end sexual violence in one generation!

To help us build collective power and voice to achieve this, we are organizing a Youth Summit in March 2017 in Washington DC. The purpose of this event will be to engage more than 100 High School students at a 3-day summit.  At the Youth Summit, participants will engage in leadership and learning opportunities through three tracks:

1. Using social media and messaging to change public opinion and discourse about gender-based violence
2. Leveraging the influence of ‘sports’ and athletes to end gender-based violence
3. Catalyzing individuals and communities through community organizing and policy advocacy to end gender-based violence
