Harvard-Westlake SafeBAE Club Earns Recognition in The Chronicle
Peer-led consent advocacy takes center stage at Harvard-Westlake.
A SafeBAE Club in the Spotlight
In the bustling halls of Harvard-Westlake, something extraordinary is happening. A group of dedicated students has been leading the charge on a mission that’s reshaping how their peers think about relationships, boundaries, and respect.
This week, their hard work and commitment were recognized in the Harvard-Westlake Chronicle. The article, titled “No Means No: Students and Faculty Discuss Consent,” puts a spotlight on the SafeBAE Club at the school, a testament to how student voices can drive real change.
For SafeBAE, this moment is about showing what happens when young people take the reins in creating safer, healthier environments for their peers. Their work is proof that conversations about consent and accountability don’t just belong in assemblies; they thrive in classrooms, clubs, and everyday interactions.
What the Chronicle Highlighted
The Harvard-Westlake Chronicle captures the incredible work of the school’s SafeBAE Club, emphasizing how students are taking the lead on critical conversations about consent. In the article, a student club member shares, “It’s really important that we don’t just talk about these issues in theory, but that we make them part of our everyday school culture.”
Through workshops, peer-led discussions, and faculty collaboration, the club has made consent education a visible and active part of the school community. The article also highlights how the club is fostering open dialogue, with one faculty member noting, “These students are leading the way in creating an environment where everyone feels empowered to speak up and set boundaries.”
These stories show how student leadership, when supported by SafeBAE’s resources, can transform not just individual perspectives but an entire school’s approach to safety and respect.
Bringing SafeBAE to More Schools
The recognition of the Harvard-Westlake SafeBAE Club is a testament to the power of student-led initiatives and the importance of creating spaces where consent and accountability are not just discussed but practiced. It’s also a reminder of how crucial it is to empower young people to lead these conversations in their own communities.
At SafeBAE, we believe every school has the potential to create safer, healthier environments, just like Harvard-Westlake. Whether it’s through starting a club, hosting workshops, or taking part in our peer educator training, these small steps can lead to lasting change.
