This internship will focus on supporting the Enough is Enough (EiE) Program, particularly in the areas of education, outreach, and building connections between colleges/universities and rape crisis/sexual violence prevention programs through the development of a public health detailing package. The EiE program is a state funded program that provides rape crisis/sexual violence prevention program resources to colleges and universities to assist them in implementing the Enough is Enough law requirements on campuses throughout New York State.

* Survey Enough is Enough Contractors on the needs they have in regards to outreach for the program and establishing connections with college and university campuses.
