Educational Program Manager position:

Organizational Overview:

The Katie Brown Educational Program (KBEP) offers a range of educational programs throughout the year. KBEP takes the approach that all young people need age-appropriate relationship violence prevention education to be able to build and maintain successful relationships from childhood into adulthood. We also recognize that education is a critical aspect for adults, whether they are seeking professional development opportunities or informational workshops. All educational programs include lecture, discussion, group and individual activities, handouts, moments of self-reflection, and additional resources.

To address these needs KBEP serves individuals in the following areas:

• School Programs are age-appropriate and designed for students in fourth grade through high school.
• Summer Programs are delivered in non-traditional settings, such as summer camps, after-school programs, and group homes.
• RSVP College Program targets members of college communities to provide information by teaching skills related to building and maintaining respectful, healthy relationships.
• Professional Development workshops provide participants with the opportunity to learn skills that can be integrated into their work to help foster a culture of respect and to better respond to students in need of support. Participants will also receive resources that they can use to further support their students.
• Parent Workshops provide an opportunity for parents seeking to further their knowledge of relationship violence. Parents will also receive resources that they can use to further support their children.
• Adult Programs provide participants with the practical skills that are needed to develop and navigate healthier relationships– a practice that is often overlooked in the dialogue on violence prevention and behavior change.
