With millions of young people participating in sport every year, sport is uniquely positioned to take action toward ending sexual and domestic violence. Sport develops young people by teaching skills, values, and practices, which can get to the root causes of sexual and domestic violence to prevent it.

Speakers Alan Heisterkamp of the University of Northern Iowa, Valencia Peterson of Open Door Abuse Awareness & Prevention and  Ward Urion of LifeWire will share how they have been able to develop partnerships with school programs, coaches and athletes to help implement prevention strategies in athletics. 

Sport can be part of the solution to ending sexual and domestic violence, join for an informative webinar on how you can harness the power and influence of sport to prevent sexual and domestic violence in your community.
