Capacity Building Training for Sexual Violence Preventionists and Organizations

Empower your team with creative tools to influence people’s behaviors and establish new violence prevention norms

Is your team grappling with these questions?

  • How can we increase community engagement?

  • How can we get students/young adults to care?

  • How can we connect to their values and identities?

  • How can we increase rates of bystander intervention, consent, and healthy relationships?

Our training programs will guide you to these answers.

Why work with us?

We've been in your shoes. When our Executive Director started as a campus prevention coordinator, student engagement on her campus was low. By implementing the strategies we’ll teach you, we dramatically increased student engagement and enthusiasm. How did we do this? By developing messaging, strategies, and creative materials students can connect with and relate to, that tap into who they are or who they aspire to be.

We are excited to provide you with concrete tools to create this kind of culture change in your community. Our training will help you creatively engage your community members and establish new prevention-based norms.

What is it like to work with us?

  • “The RVCC staff are experts in this field of campus violence prevention, and it was such a privilege to work with them. The [capacity building] program has made my prevention work a lot easier. I am spending less time creating materials because of all the brilliant ideas and tangible tools RVCC has provided us. It has been a big time-saver and fun to use the creative resources. All the models and strategies shared helped me see how we can actually shift the culture around sexual violence at our individual campus. It gave me a new framework to work with, and I'm already seeing the impact.”
