Whether heading off to college or taking the first steps through the hallowed halls of high school this fall, this 3-hour workshop will prepare young women to enter the next chapter of their lives safely and more confidently.

Through hands-on activities, role play, the presentation of real-world scenarios (such as dating violence, parties, and harassment both online and on the street), and the practice of verbal and physical techniques, we’ll learn how to:

• recognize and assess danger

• assert boundaries and de-escalate tense situations

• escape grabs and holds

• use our body’s 10 tools to fend off a physical attack

• find help and support for ourselves and others who’ve experienced harassment or violence

Open to all young women 13+. No athletic/martial arts experience necessary. Wear comfortable clothes!

***We will provide hand sanitizer, sanitize all equipment, observe social distance, and limit contact to one partner during training of physical techniques. The option for no contact with another person is also available. If you'd prefer to join us via Zoom call, a web link will be provided after registration.***

The cost of this session is $30 per participant. To ensure safety during this time, pre-registration is required. Reserve your spot by registering here.
