WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?<\/h2>\n

Every day, young people navigate relationships – crushes, breakups, sexuality, firsts, and hookups – but they don\u2019t always have the space to talk about them, learn about them, or share their experiences. Let\u2019s Be Real creates that space. Grounded in our belief that everyone deserves a healthy relationship and everyone can take action in their own way, we amplify the voices of young people ages 12-24.<\/p>\n

Let’s Be Real provides you with online and in-person opportunities to have real conversations about your experiences, tap into your creativity, and apply your individual gifts and talents towards building a culture without abuse. It\u2019s not a club, it\u2019s not a group, it\u2019s a movement. By young people, for young people, about relationships.<\/strong><\/p>\n

HOW DID IT GET STARTED?<\/h2>\n

True story: In 2016, 22 young people from all across the country came together to decide on a name. Once we had the name locked down, Break the Cycle reached out to 14 young people who focused on the look and feel \u00a0– see our logo? Totally decided by our members. And that\u2019s how it all went down, a true youth-led movement from the start!<\/p>\n
