General Projects
Breaking Free (Eugene, OR)
Youth Empowered to End Sexual Violence: This project will develop curricula for the primary prevention of sexual violence, train trainers, and offer youth and youth/adult programs for children aged 11-14 outside of a school setting. The curriculum will be developmentally appropriate and culturally sensitive by seeking input from diverse community members in designing it. The curriculum will provide information, teach skills, and promote behaviors for primary sexual violence prevention through reducing risk and enhancing safety. Additionally, skills will focus on identifying, avoiding and resisting sexual violence, promoting healthy relationships, and building positive self-esteem. The project will empower youth to be community change agents by providing an opportunity to integrate their lessons into a final project presented to other children, youth and community members.
Central Oregon Battering and Rape Alliance (Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson Counties)
Changing Attitudes: This project provides training for students, volunteers and educators to model non-violent behavior. Through training, public education campaigns and coordinated community interventions, this project will cultivate changes to attitudes that increase the acceptance of intervening as a bystander to prevent violence. The project activities will encourage men and women to take on leadership roles in their schools and communities to encourage a community-wide discussion about gender violence and to reverse the conditioning that people have to be passive bystanders in the face of sexist abuse and violence.
Haven from Domestic Violence (Wasco County)
Education for Adolescent Males and Females: This project will provide a curriculum to adolescent boys and girls in Wasco County which focuses on defining healthy relationships, developing individual knowledge, and changing attitudes and behaviors.
Helping Hands Against Violence (Hood River County)
Sexual Health Intercommunity Focus Team (SHIFT) will challenge the social norms of Hood River County in order to assert that sexual violence is unacceptable by providing education programs and developing partnerships with other agencies. In addition, created by youth for youth, the CONSENT project uses music literacy, theater and art to help peers gain awareness and skills in assertiveness, bystander intervention and healthy relationships.
Henderson House (Yamhill County)
Safe and Healthy Relationships Through Rape Prevention Education: This program will provide a multi-faceted approach to sexual violence prevention. The project will encompass non-traditional partnerships, involve parents and schools, and engage students from grade school, middle school and high school. The project also includes a community awareness component.
Klamath Crisis Center (Klamath County)
Klamath Partnership for Sexual Abuse Prevention: The Klamath Crisis Center and Klamath SART, along with other community members, have developed a strategic plan that will focus on two key areas: 1) increasing the effectiveness of sexual abuse prevention education, and 2) merging the recommendations from "Recommendations to Prevent Sexual Violence in Oregon: A Plan of Action" into our local plan.
Listen to Kids (Portland Metro area)
Sexual Violence Prevention: This project will build the capacity of Listen to Kids to effectively address the risk of sexual violence in the Greater Portland Metropolitan area by teaching parents, caregivers, school staff and other community members how to incorporate sexual violence prevention strategies into their daily lives. Adults will learn sexual violence prevention practices, gain an improved feeling of competence in talking with young people about sexual violence, and recognize the importance of their role in stopping sexual violence in our community.
MayDay, Inc. (Baker City)
Peer Mentors: This project will work with a cadre of high school freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors - boys and girls - to act as mentors who will facilitate interactive discussions in classrooms, at school activities and within the community. The project will utilize the Mentors in Violence Prevention playbook.
Sexual Assault Resource Center (Washington County)
Project SAFE: This project is a three-pronged prevention approach to educating adolescents, ages 12 to 18, school personnel, as well as community based youth service providers about the devastating impact of sexual violence and how we as a community can interrupt and prevent sexual violence in the future.
Sexual Assault Support Services (Lane County)
Engaging Change: This innovative community engagement project is designed to enhance community awareness and organize community leadership to prevent sexual violence within the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer (LGBTQ) communities in the Eugene-Springfield Metro area.
Shelter From the Storm (Union County)
Sexual Assault Prevention Team: The Sexual Assault Prevention Team provides a menu of programs that have been adapted to our community. The menu will include: 1) Faith Based Sexual Assault Prevention, a train-the-trainer approach which will educate and provide support to faith communities to prevent sexual violence, and 2) Expect Respect, a curriculum for safe and healthy relationships to educate and provide support to middle and high school students to prevent sexual violence.
Tillamook County Women's Crisis Center (Tillamook County)
Rape Prevention and Education Project: This project will provide several 9-20 week facilitated, ongoing educational groups for at-risk teens. The groups will focus on four key concepts: Oppression, Gender Roles, Healthy vs Unhealthy Relationships, and Communication, Bystander Intervention and Advocacy, in order to reduce the level of sexual violence. The project seeks to engage at-risk adolescents by educating group participants about the dynamics of sexual violence, encouraging healthy personal choices, and empowering them to speak up about sexual violence prevention in both their personal and public lives.
Special Projects
Statewide Initiative to Prevent Sexual Violence Against Individuals with Developmental Disabilities
Breaking Free (Eugene, OR)
Promoting Healthy Relationships and Safe Interaction Skills for Adults who have Developmental Disabilities: The goal of this project is to have a community that understands and promotes healthy relationships and safe interaction skills for adults with developmental disabilities and all community members. The project will develop and deliver a curriculum for adults with mild-moderate cognitive disabilities, and training for those who live, work with and serve them.
Columbia County Women's Resource Center (Columbia County)
Your Rights: Sexual Safety and Awareness for People with Developmental Disabilities: This project provides information and services to people with developmental disabilities in relation to their right to have safe and consensual sexual relationships. Caregivers, service providers and allies will learn how to recognize and prevent the attitudes and conditions which increase the vulnerability of people with developmental disabilities to sexual violence victimization. The project will establish relationships between people with developmental disabilities, their allies and service providers, and sexual violence prevention educators and advocates with the goal of developing community ownership of and responsibility for preventing sexual violence against people with developmental disabilities. |
