In My Shoes, Inc. Information

In My Shoes is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating people about sexual violence in order to prevent it and eliminate the stigma surrounding it. Using educational and informational resources to spread awareness, the organization is committed to creating a community of survivors, supporters, and sponsors of a common issue that plagues society today. Through varying educational tools, In My Shoes channels the power that comes from our founder sharing her story and the stories of countless other survivors to shift the perception of rape and sexual assault away from stigmatization and towards a topic worth both discussing and solving in a way unlike any other. In My Shoes offers two distinct educational programs: Event-in a Box and Campus Counterracter. Event-in-a-Box: Our Event-in-a-Box is a kit that contains our educational tool for high-school students and younger audiences. The informational guide, easy-to-distribute brochures with quick facts, and our founder’s story present the easy to understand facts about sexual violence and ways to prevent it. Campus Counterracter: Our Campus Counterracter is a curriculum for colleges and universities, ideally presented to first-year students at the onset of the school year. This tool is incredibly extensive, containing information about sexual violence, modes of prevention, safe consumption of alcohol and drugs, healthy relationships, mental health, Title IX, and legal action. This tool is presented to students by a trained In My Shoes speaker, who is also a college student, in an hour-long presentation, facilitating a more relatable conversation where students are talked with not talked at.
