Green Dot Program

Green Dot is a national bystander program that aims to reduce rates of personal power-based violence. This is any violence where a person uses power to harm another; including sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and stalking. Green Dot has been proven to reduce rates and raise awareness of personal power-based violence.
