Waves of Change

Waves of Change is a prevention approach training program to end sexualized violence on campus. The program’s goal is to teach participants to recognize a broad range of sexually violent scenarios that commonly occur on post-secondary campuses. Participants will also learn various techniques to intervene either as bystanders or as a community to interrupt or stop sexual violence, support survivors, hold those who cause harm accountable for their actions, and transform the culture that allows violence to happen. This program draws on participants' existing skills, knowledge, and creativity to facilitate broader strategies for social change.
