Our Mission
The Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) engages the Ramapo community in evidence-based education that cultivates affirmative consent, active upstander intervention, and healthy relationships to challenge rape culture and prevent sexual violence. We believe violence prevention is an act of community care. By fostering a culture of mutual respect, shared responsibility, and relational accountability, we empower every community member to help create the conditions for collective well-being so that everyone can thrive.
