Green Dot at EvCC

What is Green Dot?

Green Dot is a bystander intervention training designed to help participants develop skills in how to intervene when witnessing inappropriate and harmful behavior (for example: sexual harassment, discrimination, etc.). Green Dots are the individual actions we take to directly prevent someone from being harmed, support them after something has happened, or show others that this topic matters to us and our community.

Training Opportunities

Are you interested in learning more about your options for intervening, or figuring out what barriers you may need to overcome to help you take action? Or maybe you just want to help create a community culture that makes clear: harmful behaviors will not be tolerated here. Join a Green Dot bystander intervention training!

Please complete the linked registration form to join a training that matches your participant type, as an employee or student. Registration is not required, but highly encouraged to help the presenters prepare.

Proactive Green Dots

We can do simple things to show our community that we support intervening in situations that can cause harm to others, which are called proactive Green Dots. A few examples include adding a line about Green Dot to your email signature, wearing a Green Dot pin, or posting about a bystander intervention story on your social media. Check out some proactive Green Dot activities available to you on this Proactive Green Dots document.
