Recognize Violence, Change Culture (RVCC)

Want to do prevention work differently? More creatively? ✨

We help sexual violence preventionists build strategies that get young people to show up, speak to their values & interests, shift behaviors, and create norms that stick, using creative materials, easy-to-implement tools, and training.

"RVCC has made me feel more confident branching out and trying new educational and engagement strategies. They’ve inspired me to get creative (and gave me a creative boost with their materials!) and we've already seen an increase in student engagement."

-Emily, Sexual Assault Resource Specialist

Partner With Us

We collaborate with campus, community, statewide, and national orgs to provide technical assistance, develop custom campaigns, tabling toolkits, artwork, workshops, and more to enhance your impact.

We've partnered with national orgs like Futures Without Violence and the National Organization of Asians and Pacific Islanders Ending Sexual Violence; statewide coalitions like the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault; campuses like Merced College and Whitman College; and federal partners like the Oregon Army National Guard.

”RVCC has confirmed for us that prevention work doesn't have to be boring and that we don't have to just lecture students. It can be fun, engaging, and provide students with opportunities to contribute in student-centered ways that enhance learning."

Our Story: It’s possible to get people excited about prevention!

Before RVCC, our Executive Director was the sexual violence prevention coordinator at Cal Poly Humboldt. There, in collaboration with students, she developed CHECK IT, a bystander intervention program, where the rest of us met as peer educators. Through implementing engaging student-centered initiatives, we went from low student engagement to highly active volunteer teams and over 300-500 students attending our consent-centered parties every year. Experiencing these powerful cultural shifts inspired us to create RVCC and a community for people who want to do prevention differently.
