Our Programs

PACT has real, honest conversations with young people about real life and digital friendships, dating, conflict-resolution, relationships and consent, emphasizing the power of honoring self-worth.

Our comprehensive curriculum cultivates healthy relationships, on and offline. We inspire participants to embrace the statement: "I know my value as an individual. My thoughts and opinions are important. I deserve love and respect. The number of likes on my social media posts does not validate my worth." Our workshops are comprised of activities to nurture this attitude.

What I Stand For

Discovering positive personal values: Trust, honesty and respect are important in my relationships.

Good Communication

Practicing being assertive: I feel hurt and ignored when you leave me on read. Do you think you could respond when you read it?

Boundaries

Deciding personal boundaries: Friends with benefits is not my thing. I know I get emotionally attached and it probably won’t end well.

Expectations

Recognizing relationship expectations: I expect my partner to text me, “good morning” and “good night” because it’s cute and I like to know my partner is thinking about me.

Respect

Identifying qualities of a toxic relationship: My partner talks down to me in front of his/her friends.

Consent

Learning to ask permission: If you want something, you have to ask!

Battle of the Sexes

Examining the impact of double standards, gender stereotypes and the media on relationships: How does a "boys will be boys" mentality perpetuate rape culture? Does the media glorify toxic relationships?

FML!

Navigating real-life relationships and situations: This relationship is toxic and no longer serves me. How do I end it?
