Prevention Education Program

Relationships are at the core of our everyday lives, and we firmly believe that through outreach and education efforts we can continue to provide resources and inform our community about healthy relationships.

Adult Community Education 

The Youth Advisory Committee (Y. A.C.), is a volunteer program for youth ages 13-20. The program focuses on education around social change and how they can promote emotional wellness on their school campuses. Youth Advisory Committee members are supported in hosting student-led circles and events emphasizing healthy conflict resolution skills, safe relationship dynamics, mental wellness, and more.  

“As a teenager in California it’s difficult to believe that I could actually have a political impact. Engaging with legislators about the importance of prevention was incredibly rewarding. Working with House of Ruth was such an amazing experience. I’ll forever be grateful for this program for enhancing my passion to help others enduring abuse." - Former Y.A.C. member
