Surpassing Our Survival (S.O.S.) Society Sexual Violence and Prevention and Counselling Services, Prince George
Up Standers Against Violence is a school-based program that focuses on girls, sexual violence, bullying, and healthy relationships. The program empowers young women with the skills to reduce their risk of violence, as well as to develop leadership experience. While the activities are youth-led, there is shared decision-making with adults, as well as the incorporation of community expertise. In this phase of the program, the goal is to establish an “UP Team” of trained Grade 10 students across three local high schools. This will allow the program to reach more youth in the community, and to build supports and leadership skills for girls and women as they move beyond high school.
