Our story
What is C.A.R.D.?
C.A.R.D. is a program built by youth for youth. We strive to provide students with the opportunity to learn and teach others about consent, healthy relationships, and personal safety.
how did we start?
C.A.R.D. was founded in June 2018, when we noticed a lack of awareness from the teenagers at our school. Through discussions with our peers we discovered how helpful talking through the grey areas of consent is.
Who is C.A.R.D.?
C.A.R.D. is made up of a fabulous team of volunteers. Our high-school leaders along with our youth leaders work together to educate our communities. Anyone can be a part of C.A.R.D., whether that entails coming to monthly meetings, starting a C.A.R.D. team for your high school, or following us on social media.
