Climbing Toward Confidence is a sexual violence prevention program for adolescent girls in Buncombe County, NC. Through rock climbing, the Girls Pride sexual assault prevention curriculum, group encounter and mentorship, Climbing Toward Confidence aims to equip girls with both the practical skills to recognize and say no to risky or unwanted situations, and the confidence and conviction that their bodies and identities are worth protecting.
A few reasons to get involved in mentoring a young girl:
Young women age 14-17 represent 38% of all date rape victims.
1 in 4 girls under the age of 18 experience sexual violence.
