Peace Over Violence released an advocacy paper entitled Teen Dating Violence and Sexual Violence Policy Project at Miguel Contreras Learning Complex.
The report contains a description of the pilot site characteristics, a definition of the policy project, review of successes and challenges, and recommendations to others who are seeking teen dating and sexual violence policy change in school systems.
I've been working for non-profits as a volunteer or paid staff member for the last 10 years.
The primary focus of my work in the non-profit field has been educating the public about sexual assault. I have worked across a range of advocacy-related positions — from volunteering in direct services to coordinating media and legislation at the CALCASA.
