Center for Safety & Change Announces SAEDA (Student Activists Ending Dating Abuse) Summer Training

Rockland County high school students are once again being
offered a unique opportunity to complete community service credits, train as
activists for social change and earn money in the Center for Safety & Change’s
Student Activists Ending Dating Abuse (SAEDA) summer 2014 training.  The training is scheduled to take place August
18th through the 21st from 9am to 4pm at the Palisades
Center Mall.  All Rockland students
entering grades 9 through 12 are encouraged to apply early as space is limited.
 All participants who complete the training
are eligible for a stipend. 



The SAEDA program provides students with the opportunity to discuss
and explore issues of dating abuse and what a healthy relationship looks
like. 



Students who successfully complete the entire training
become members of SAEDA and can remain active as co-presenters and help their
peers by being resources of assistance, information and referrals. SAEDA
students also strategize as a group on how they can contribute to positive
social change in their communities.
