Overview
In the US, 1.5 million teens experience dating abuse each year. Young women ages 16-24 experience the highest rates of violence-nearly triple the overall average. If girls are to live free from violence and fear, we must empower them to speak out on their own behalf. With $250,000, Break the Cycle will invite 120 Girl Scouts ages 15-17 and 40 female college-students to become peer ambassadors against dating abuse. Participants will travel to Washington, DC for a 2-day training to become leaders in this movement! Over the next year, these young women will educate and inspire other Girl Scouts in their region, using service-learning activities to help over 50,000 girls. Charged by their peers to educate five others, these 50,000 youth will help give a total of 250,000 young people the life-saving knowledge needed to create safe, healthy and happy futures.
