What we do:
We provide education and community outreach to help youth, especially youth of color and LGBTQ youth to gain access and services related to sexual violence. We work with local schools, colleges to build awareness around social justice, safe dating, healthy relationship, gender and sexuality, and sexual violence.
Youth Leadership Corps (YLC)
If you are a high school aged person looking to develop leadership skills and awareness around sexual violence, you can join our Youth Leadership Corps program. YLC meets weekly to learn a wide range of topics including self-esteem, self-care, gender and sexuality, teen dating violence, healthy relationships, effective bystander intervention and more.
Why join YLC?
- Build leadership and advocacy skills
- Build career portfolio
- Meet other youth who are passionate about social justice
- Get paid while learning and developing leadership skills!
YLC runs from January to June, for youth ages 14-19. You’ll develop advocacy skills to become an activist in your own life. Each week we meet and discuss a wide range of topics from self-esteem, sexual violence, gender and sexuality to healthy relationships.
We then bring what we learn into the community through outreach, teamwork and CHH events, all while earning a stipend! Sign up with a friend! Want an application? You can reach Sadé at sade@chhinc.org or text/call 978.483.0262.
