Mission

At the blue bench, our mission is to eliminate sexual assault and diminish the impact it has on individuals, their loved ones and our community through comprehensive issue advocacy, prevention and care.

Programs

2 programs

Sexual violence prevention education: ending sexual violence in our community is not just about providing support in the aftermath of an assault, it's about empowering community members to shift the way they think and talk about the issue. The blue bench provides scientifically- supported prevention education programming beginning in middle school, with a goal of developing skills necessary to help young people challenge rape culture and become active bystanders. Programs are offered at schools, prisons, detention centers, bars, music venues, community organizations, and more. The organization also provides prevention programming for parents and safety empowerment skills training for female-identified participants age 13+.
