Youth Creating Allies for Relationship Education (YCARE) is a ministry of Between Friends. YCARE engages high school students to be leaders in their communities. They are encouraged to educate and raise awareness about dating violence, and to learn skills and strategies to build healthy identities, relationships, and communities.
YCARE Leaders work with Between Friends staff to build a future without domestic violences for the communities we serve. Topics covered include privilege and oppression, gender roles, building healthy relationships, the effects of trauma and sexual harassment, job-skills, financial education, reparative justice, youth facilitation, self-reflection, the importance of consent, advocacy skills, empowerment, and self-care.
