<br><br><b>**********MIT**********<br></b><br><b><u>2. Volunteer for VPR Consent Campaign (Sign up now)<br></u>Sign up:</b> <a href="http://bit.ly/ConsentCampaign">http://bit.ly/ConsentCampaign</a><br><br>The Violence Prevention & Response (VPR) program is interested in launching a consent campaign for the MIT community in response to increasing numbers of hotline calls and office visits. VPR is looking to produce a series of posters meant to educate the MIT student body about consent. Our hope is to find student volunteers willing to be featured in the campaign. We're looking for a diverse group of students. If you choose to volunteer, you will be given a list of possible scenarios in advance of your photo shoot and asked to let us know which ones you are not comfortable with. You have the right to decline any pose or volunteer pairing. You will be shown any photos you're in before they are put to use. At any time before or after the posters are produced you will have the right and ability to decline your image being used in the campaign.<br>
<br>We believe this campaign has the potential to not only reduce the number of assaults that occur on campus, but also to help MIT students achieve happier and healthier interpersonal relationships. By volunteering to model for this poster campaign, you are helping to create a better and safer MIT community for us all. To volunteer as a model, please provide your contact info here: <a href="http://bit.ly/ConsentCampaign">http://bit.ly/ConsentCampaign</a><br>
