Pair Up

Women and Girls Ending Teen Dating Abuse

The mission of Pair Up is to involve teen girls and their mothers (aunts, grandmothers, etc) in the prevention of dating violence. We will involve participants by creating an environment where they can learn about preventing and ending dating violence while participating in activities that promote healthy relationships and meeting community needs.

Special thanks to organizations sponsoring this event!
