PROGRAM OVERVIEW
RCC Sexual Violence Resource Center’s GameChangers is committed to empowering youth to engage in activism, dismantle rape culture, and foster progress across Dane County. Each school year, high school students are selected to participate after completing an application and interview with program staff. The group is made up of students who are either returning to the program or are brand-new participants. GameChangers work together to educate themselves about various aspects of activism and some of the root causes of sexual violence, later addressing these issues through outreach work and advocacy & activism projects. While the main focus of the group is sexual violence and rape culture, students also engage with other social justice issues and intersecting oppressions. Students are paid for their time and receive mileage reimbursement.
