  • Title IX Consent Cards (reproducible)

    Title IX Consent Cards; distributed at High School Wellness Centers, and interactive workshops such as “Green Dot,” designed to prevent sexual assault and harassment.

    VOLUNTARY

    Not pressured or rushed

    Can be withdrawn at any time

    VERBAL 

    expressed clearly 

    CLEAR

    No confusion

    NO always means NO. 

    Only YES means YES 

    ONGOING

    Consent before and during sexual encounter

    REPEATED

    Discussed more than once. Confirmed at each level of sexual activity

    Confirmed again on different days 

    AWARENESS 

    All parties are fully informed.  Not impaired by alcohol or drugs.  Not pressured or rushed 

    REQUIRED 

    Consent is not assumed from clothing, social media, dancing, or body language 

    Sex without consent is a felony (rape). 

    UNDERSTOOD 

    Talking openly with each other about consent and sexuality is healthy.  

    Mutual consent increases intimacy.  

    It’s okay to be unsure, or change your mind. 

    Sometimes talking about consent leads teenagers to delay having sex. 

    Amid rapidly changing technology and the ever-changing new normal, Title IX, equity, and civil rights call out. Kids know youth culture what it’s like to be a teenager rn. We learn the most from the young people we serve.
