Follow along on social media for updates from the institute!

We are excited to commence our third annual Summer Activist Institute, in partnership with the World Childhood Foundation USA.

WHEN: June 24-27, 2024

WHERE: the beautiful beachfront campus of Southern Maine Community College in South Portland, Maine

WHO: 20 US high school students (rising freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors in the 2024-25 school year) who are actively engaged in sexual violence prevention & consent education activism and want the opportunity and support to do more.
WHAT: 3 days of intensive (but also SUPER fun) activist leadership training as a sexual assault prevention advocate.  

  • We will have guest speakers from activist organizations throughout the US, surprise guests, so much swag, and fun activities in greater Portland!
  • Participants will work in break-out sessions to envision their ideas for continuing their activism work during the 2023-24 school year.  
  • Each participant will receive help and support in creating a proposal to submit to SafeBAE for grant funding of their work in the year ahead.

WHY:

  • Lead a revolution to dismantle rape culture
  • Empower you and your friends to know your rights in school
  • Be a leader in teaching enthusiastic consent
  • Get community service hours toward graduation
  • This will be an incredible achievement to put on your college application
  • Maine is an AMAZING place to be in the summer!
