President
The program and research is fact-based, so we know it works. What other organization can reach over 2000 kids within 12 months with such a strong message that can impact their lives at an early age?!
Melanie Apel
Vice-President
I love that Relate 360 helps students think through the process of what a healthy relationship is. I’m especially encouraged that we talk about the harms of pornography and that we educate students about consent. Students need to know what “No” means, and also need encouragement to tell others when abuse has happened.
Sydney Rhoades
Secretary
I believe in the mission of Relate 360 because healthy relationships are such an important part of life the whole way through. As a teen, I feel like I learned about relationships by making a lot of mistakes first. It's awesome that Relate 360 exists to equip students to make positive choices.
Annette Duff
I love how thoroughly and thoughtfully relationships are covered in the program. It really helps the students think about why they do what they do in certain situations.
Chuck Hagedorn
Treasurer
I’ve been at a number of Relate 360 events and seen the impact on kids and that excites me. I think it’s cool how we cover how decisions about relationships can affect their future.
Jeff Koenig
I love Relate 360 because I think the small amount of dollars spent educating young people about healthy relationships saves the whole community hundreds of thousands of dollars later in the cost of services to help broken families. Decisions now about sex and relationships now have a huge impact on needing support services later on.
Walter Renberg
I think that the influences Relate 360 has in a community include not just healthier decisions by students but also better relationships between parents and kids since we we also do parent groups. I think ultimately the differences can extend into later years in the relationships those students have, to their success in the work place, and healthier interactions with their peers.
Emily Weddle
I am passionate about Relate 360 because sexual integrity is not simply an issue isolated to youth. It is a lifetime thing that can impact an individual for years to come!
Shawna Palmieri
The education Relate 360 provides may be the only time our youth hear a message about healthy relationships. The topics covered in the classroom are often not addressed at home and we cannot risk our children learning these life changing lessons from the internet or misinformed peers.
