Teen Council

As members of the DC Rape Crisis Center Teen Council, we believe that teens should be included in the sexual violence movement. The Center invited us to be part of a teen advisory group. Our goals are to tell other teens about sexual violence, available services, and ways to reduce risks of sexual assault. We also plan ways we can stand up against sexual violence.
