Program Details
Our Orientation program has a modular design, allowing us to customize it easily by "sliding in" and "sliding out" educational segments on various topics based on the needs of the college. We have conversations with each school that books it to find out if there are issues of particular concern, and whether there are topics they'd rather not have us a discuss, and then revise our program accordingly to fit with the campus culture and context. We frequently add in college-specific statistics, facts, and resources to our presentations, and welcome key staff (Title IX coordinators, victim advocates, Student Conduct staff, etc) to join us on stage if they wish to introduce themselves briefly and explain their role on campus. We are also happy to work with colleges to give student orientation leaders significant on-stage “teaching roles” if you wish. The program has successfully been tailored for the needs of Catholic colleges, women's schools, and environmental-themed colleges, along with a wide variety of public, private, rural, and urban universities. It works well with audiences of any size -- we've presented to freshman classes ranging in size from 100 to 3,000+, and can do single presentations or a series of back-to-back talks for “round robins” with several sections of the incoming class. The standard program covers: - consent - communication in sexual situations - drinking & sex - sexual assault prevention Staff organizers have the option of having us add one or several of the following modules, based on their campus' needs: - bystander intervention - recognizing stalking behaviors and intimate partner violence violence, compared with healthy relationships and healthy breakups - communication in sexual situations - safer sex (including how to use safer sex supplies correctly) - more detailed information on STI prevention (beyond just teaching how to use safe sex supplies) - tips on drinking more safely (harm reduction designed for schools that will not be covering alcohol issues in more depth during another section of Orientation) - a section on LGBTQ issues with the goal of increasing tolerance and reducing homophobia and transphobia (the entire program is inclusive and non-heteronormative, even without the addition of this module) - more detailed advice about making abstinence work if that's your choice, and quotes from real students on your campus about why they're choosing abstinence - pregnancy prevention: strengthening students’ motivation to prevent or delay pregnancy - new modules created specifically for a college by request
