Each year, RCC selects high school students from across Dane County to act as their youth advisory board. GameChangers learn about rape culture and other systems of oppression and work together on community service projects to help change the culture around sexual violence.

Current Dane County high school students who are: 

• Passionate about social justice, collaboration, and community change

• Excited to work with and connect with diverse peers

GameChangers spend additional time on independent assignments and work on projects outside of meeting time. Overall, GameChangers spend 8-10 hours working each month.
