The SPACE Program.
Safer Possibilities through Advocacy, Community, and Education.
For the next five years, we will be bringing our RPE (rape prevention education) programming to Vergennes Union Middle & High School (VUMHS). We are beyond excited to partner with VUMHS to center our youth leadership work in the Vergennes community.
Our SPACE programming will provide VUMHS students with the opportunity to make real, lasting change in their school community while having fun and getting paid. The SPACE program aims to decrease sexual harm in Vergennes by uplifting safety, equity, and respect. We know that this goal is made possible when we partner with dedicated young people who can help us lead this charge, which is why we have created the SPACE Club!
The SPACE program is the newest iteration of our youth advisory board, maintaining the same spirit of just youth-adult partnerships, but focusing our work in one school community.
