A violence prevention advocate can partner with a school or athletic organization to implement the program.  Advocates provide training, support & coordination for program implementation.

2. How do I get started? Everything advocates need to know is in our step-by-step Implementation Guide and the Training for Advocates.
    

3. Everyone plays a role in prevention! In an all-gender setting, it is important for ALL genders to participate in a violence prevention program. In conjunction with Athletes As Leaders, we recommend implementing a program with intentional efforts to engage men & boys' teams, such as CBIM.
    

4. The school or athletic organization also has an important role in prevention. Our Recommended Policies will help you get started.
