The Teen
Community Action Team (Teen CAT)
is a group
of high school students in Novato, California who take action
in their community to prevent dating violence, sexual assault
and other forms of violence in their community. They have made
a video about teens helping teens prevent abuse (abuse
- No Way!). They also carry out outreach and awareness
activities, and have organized protests of against violence against
women, youth and children in their community (including local
incidents of rape, child abuse and hate crimes). You can contact
the Teen CAT in the weekly Chat Room they host at the InSite (www.theinsite.org)
every Wednesday afternoon 4:00- 5:00. The all-volunteer Teen CAT
is facilitated by Transforming Communities in Novato
