Day One's Peer Leadership Program mobilizes youth to raise awareness of domestic violence in their communities. Students on local campuses develop self-sustaining groups that raise awareness of relationship violence among college-age youth, develop campus-based resources and design activities to educate others about dating abuse and domestic violence.
The Peer Leadership Program enables young people to become leaders in the movement to end domestic violence by training them to advocate, educate their peers about relationship abuse and learn about resources in their communities. By targeting a wide-range of campus associations and groups, Day One publicizes resources for individuals in need and reduces the overall tolerance for violence on campus.
Recent projects include:
- I Spy Love (a blog about healthy relationships)
- It's a Love Hate Kinda Thing (a healthy relationships e-zine for college students)
