Suitable for teens ages 13-18

HopeWorks of Howard County Presents the annual Teen Step One Training. This one-day interactive training for teens ages 13-18 who want to learn to be active bystanders, advocates for healthy relationships, and prevent sexual assault and dating violence in their schools & communities.

Teens will use an intersectional feminist & transformative justice approach in order to learn about the root causes of violence and focus on solutions to preventing violence in their communities before it starts. Students will be expected to show up ready to engage in tough conversation and bring in their own personal narrative to help us dive deeper into the conversation. Teen Step One will rely on a student’s experience in schools, homes, and communities to give context to the curriculum.

This annual training is adapted from the two-day adult training that goes into much detail about the complexities of gender-based violence.

Students of all genders, races, religions, abilities, etc. are encouraged to attend.
