Youth and young adult influencers (including peers) use Respect 360 to co-actively build self-respect in individuals ages 11-24. Respect 360 is a training and toolkit containing 75+ cards and 375 activities, discussion questions or journaling assignments along with a coaching method that guide youth and young adults through how to: redefine respect, practice The Respect Basics, break cycles of disrespect, achieve positive goals and thrive. Respect 360 is part of a Clinton Global Initiative commitment to reach 10,000 vulnerable youth with this toolkit by 2015.
