Consent Working Group Member
Berkeley Student Cooperative
Date: 3 weeks ago
City: Berkeley, CA
Contract type: Part time

Term: Fall/Summer/Spring
About The Group
Consent Working Group (CWG) is the body within the Berkeley Student Coops (BSC) tasked with providing our membership (residents and boarders) with quality, accessible consent education by giving consent workshops at the units. Each member of the working group will present and help the BSC revise content relating to consent education. The CWG was established in Spring 2016 in order to create and facilitate consent peer education in every BSC unit. Over the summer, the group is comprised of one Chair and up to six facilitators. Our group was created with the understanding that consistent, quality peer education around issues of consent, sexual harassment and sexual violence (SHSV), power and privilege are necessary to creating and maintaining cooperative cultures of consent. Collectively, we have now created several workshops based on consent, but remain flexible to cater to different house environments. In fact, maintaining the ability to tailor our workshops to different coop communities is one of our main priorities in education.
