Green Dot is an evidence-based primary prevention program designed to teach participants safe ways to intervene in situations of bullying, dating, sexual harassment and assault. The program includes two components: the Overview Speech and the Bystander Training. The Overview Speech is a 75-minute high-level training delivered to all students in a school. The Bystander Training is a 3-4 hour intensive training with identified Popular Opinion Leaders (POLs), i.e. students who are admired and respected by their peers. To reach optimal effectiveness, 15% of the student body must complete Bystander Training.
