TEEN AMBASSADORS
The mission of the Teen Ambassadors is to raise awareness and connect their community to resources. Since this group began in November 2020 the ambassadors have created social media content, assisted in the facilitation of the annual youth conference, and developed awareness campaigns for Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.
If you are interested in creating change in your school community and becoming an awareness ambassador, you can connect to our ambassadors at [email protected].
Youth Conference
Each year, more than 100 student peer and athletic leaders join together for a one-day leadership conference to prevent dating abuse. The day is filled with guest speakers, engaging performances, student creative projects, and a deep dive into pop culture and our exposures to relationships and setting our standards and expectations.
Visit our social media to learn more about our youth conference or send us an email to connect with the program manager or our dating abuse ambassadors.
Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month
February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month! Help us spread awareness about healthy dating relationship by referencing our 2026 TDVAM toolkit.
Girl Scouts
Working with community groups such as girl scouts is a fun and collaborative way DAPP is able to engage the community outside of the school environment. Some of the highlighted work with girl scouts is included but not limited to gold award projects, raising donations + collection drives, silver award projects, providing workshops to girl scout meetings, and much more.
Most recently a few girl scouts completing their gold award in the community have served as dating abuse awareness ambassadors assisting in creating a sustainable group of teen leaders within the community. If you are a girl scout or leader interested in bringing this education to your troop, please reach out to the program manager.
Testimonials
“Nobody teaches you how to love in the best way possible and when you’re a teenager, you may not have a high self-esteem, so you don’t recognize that you deserve a certain amount of respect from your partner and telling people that is such a powerful, important thing.”
Teen Ambassador
“I think it’s really important that we start educating people about what the signs of an abusive relationship are because they’re not always clear cut and we need to learn how to recognize them so we can help ourselves and our friends and family get out of those relationship.”
