Dating abuse is common and the effects are extremely damaging – ranging from depression to alcohol and drug dependency to engaging in violent relationships, even suicide. Teaching teens about healthy relationships is vital to stopping this devastating crime.

SAEDA (Student Activists Ending Dating Abuse) is an innovative youth-led education and prevention program dedicated to celebrating diversity, challenging oppressive social norms, promoting leadership and inspiring youth to ultimately end gender-based violence.

Be the Change. Join the Movement.

Monthly SAEDA events are open to all high school students who are interested in the topics of healthy dating, youth activism and other social justice issues. You can also help affect change by becoming a leader or committee member.

SAEDA Leadership Training

SAEDA training is our flagship initiative held each February and August, bringing together high school youth from all over Rockland County for four days of interactive peer-to-peer leadership training. Discussion topics include stopping and preventing teen dating abuse, sexual violence prevention and anti-oppression issues with a focus on equipping young leaders to affect social change.

SAEDA Sub-Committee

The sub-committee is the core leadership team for SAEDA, meeting weekly to plan monthly event agendas, as well as identify meaningful outreach and activist initiatives. All high school students with SAEDA training are eligible to join the sub-committee and help steer the social change actions and program development.
