Community action planning

What is community action planning?

Research increasingly recommendeds community-level interventions to prevent sexual violence, but few exist. 

The purpose of community action planning is twofold:

1. To empower student organizations and chapters to implement internal, structural changes to prevent sexual and relationship violence and create supportive, survivor environments.
2. To enable the SRVP team to better understand how to support different student communities in preventing violence. 

Greek chapters and student organizations can engage with this process by committing to a series of SRVP meetings and educational presentations that will result in a mutually agreed upon action plan to prevent violence and support survivors.

This plan will assist participants in laying out concrete next steps, similar to a to-do list, and evaluative metrics that will inform how the organization or chapter will work to prevent violence in a predetermined amount of time.
