The Empower Youth Program is a five-module curriculum that can be used by anyone who provides services directly to youth, such as teachers, youth program directors, counselors, mentors, therapists, and more.
It has two chief objectives: to equip youth with personal safety strategies, and to nurture their empathy for others.
By inspiring students to develop empathy for those around them, our curriculum distinguishes itself both as an exploitation prevention tool as well as a character education program with far-reaching transformative potential for your school, classroom, or youth program.
This program is intended for youth aged 12 and up.

The Apathy Effect is an innovative tool that equips you with the power to be safe from people and situations that intend to take advantage of you and your friends. We call these people exploiters.
As you go through these lessons, you will learn about the strategies exploiters use to take advantage of us and the strategies you can use to stay safe from exploitation. The adults who are facilitating this program with you are here to support you on the journey.
The youth, educators, artists, film crews, and everyone who built the Empower Youth Program shared their stories to inspire you to share yours with people you can trust.
