peer outreach & education team (poet)
The Peer Outreach Education Team is a group of women and men of all races, ethnicities, nationalities, sexual orientations, and ages committed to educating themselves about social privilege and oppression as it relates to themselves and their peers. Through guided training the team learns to understand how oppression and privilege are linked to gender violence and sexual assault. Through the facilitation of dialogue and programs, the team is committed to educating peers in the college community about what can be done about gender violence and sexual assault in society at large and within the college community.
POET is trained to present and facilitate programs on: healthy relationships, consent, how to be an ally, rethinking gender roles, conflict resolution, sexual assault risk reduction, empowerment, the relationship of the 'isms', and more.
