The Changemaker program gives you the tools you need to support one another and help prevent future sexual violence.

Changemakers will access carefully-vetted and trusted resources via our web portal, participate in training sessions, and gain the education they need to take steps toward action.

Being a Brave Step Changemaker is for everyone – survivors, loved ones, policy educators, employers, and community leaders. All are impacted by sexual violence.
