testimonials
“There is nothing more important than the core promise that we make to students and their families that we will keep them safe. And that’s what Learning Courage does.”
"Learning Courage brings a very sensitive and well-informed perspective on what the survivor community needs and how that can inform school policies to keep students safe.”
“You need people to guide you and help you through. And that’s what Learning Courage does. If you’re going to put a focus on this work, the first thing you should do is become a member of Learning Courage.”
Christy Cooper, Former Sexual Misconduct Prevention and Response Coordinator, The Hotchkiss School
"The way that Learning Courage went about their work was first to get to know our school. That was so important to us. And when I asked student leaders what were some of the highlights of the year so far, many of them mentioned that workshop with Learning Courage.”
To transform school communities by preventing sexual misconduct, reducing harm, and fostering healing—through systemic change grounded in survivor well-being.
Help reduce the trauma from sexual misconduct and abuse in schools. We’re building a resource that collects and shares best practices for prevention and response for school leaders so they can reduce incidents and support healing when it does occur. Your donation helps us build this critical tool.
Learning Courage membership gives your school timely, relevant and vital information about how to reduce sexual misconduct and respond appropriately to incidents when they do occur.
