The Respect Institute Programs

• The Respect Rally
An interactive summit where middle school, high school or college students work in Respect Pods and learn how to make self-respecting choices, create healthy relationships, reach their goals and end cycles of disrespect through the Respect Basics.

• Respect: Keep It Going! Kit
24 supportive peer- or facilitator-led Respect Pod sessions (60 minutes each) that focus on skill-building, sharing and taking action after the Rally.

• Training and Coaching
Our programs are designed to be sustainable. We train staff and students, providing support and all materials, to lead our programs on their own year after year. We also coach organizations, schools and corporations to integrate the Respect Basics into their missions and existing programs.

• Speaking
Courtney speaks nationwide about her Road to Respect and how teens and adults can start their journey too.
