Virtual Resources for K-12 Parents & Students

These resources are designed to provide teachers and parents of children and young adults with engaging age-appropriate activities about consent, healthy relationships, cyber-safety, boundary setting, and breaking down gender stereotypes. It is our hope that students receive information with these messages at school and at home, so they become adults who can stop sexual harassment and violence in our communities. While these are from external resources, we’ve selected some of our favorites to give parents and teachers a compendium of at-home educational activities.
