SUMMER VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES!
Safe+Sound Somerset is pleased to announce our Summer Webinar Series for teens this July: "Teens Acting Against Dating Violence." Incoming high school students can attend up to 3 sessions in July for a total of 4.5 community service hours (we recommend all for the full effect). . Sign up early!
Description:
Did you know that 1 in 3 teens will experience dating violence, or that almost 7% of high school students will be sexually assaulted? This can be a scary in a world that already feels so violent. The good news is that there are ways to recognize abuse and get help for yourself or your friends, and steps you can take to prevent violence. During our 3 workshops, you can anonymously ask questions and talk about these topics in a judgment-free zone. Education is a necessary part of stopping violence! Teens who attend the sessions will earn up to 4.5 hours of community service from Safe+Sound Somerset, Somerset County's leading domestic and sexual violence services organization.
