Prevention Palooza is part of Green Dot Week, the campus-wide initiative to reduce power-based personal violence and address other social issues that impede progress toward safe and equitable communities. We believe all individuals are capable of positive action and collectively mobilizing a force powerful enough to create lasting societal change. Through Green Dot Week and the Green Dot Bystander Intervention Training offered through the GVPES, we aim to accelerate individual impact by inspiring hope for change, providing realistic tools to act and helping overcome personal, relational and cultural barriers.
