Make the Connection

Step Up, Speak Out is a project of the Nebraska Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Coalition (NDVSAC). Providing teens with clear and accurate information on all forms of violence—including sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, and gender violence—can lead to a reduction of this violence. These materials, in isolation, are not enough to end all forms of violence. However, when used in conjunction with a community effort, violence can be eradicated.

Nebraska Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Coalition
NDVSAC is a statewide advocacy organization committed to the prevention and elimination of sexual and domestic violence. We work to enhance safety and justice for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault by supporting and building upon the services provided by the network of local programs. Nebraska’s network of domestic violence and sexual assault agencies provide access to safety and shelter across our entire state. To learn more about NDVSAC, visit our website at www.ndvsac.org

Thank you for your interest and commitment to bringing information on violence prevention to your classrooms and in your community.
