High School Too is an invitation to create care, consent and accountability in Ontario schools

A Possibility Seeds Project

Grow respect, care, and safety at your school. Consent Awareness Week is September 21 - 25 2026.

Consent Awareness Week is a national initiative created by Possibility Seeds and High School Too that invites thoughtful, affirming, and age-appropriate conversations about consent as a cornerstone of all our relationships.

The woman is holding a bowl of popcorn, and the girl is holding a game controller. The room has a vibrant green and yellow wall with a plant and pink paper lantern hanging from the ceiling.

It takes a community to grow safety

When we plant care, consent and accountability, students can learn without harm. Join us in cultivating change.

You are not alone

While High School Too addresses complex topics, we do not offer therapy or crisis response. If you or someone you know needs help, connect with the services listed on our support page, including Kids Help Phone and Justice for Children and Youth.

Thank you Tarana Burke

Long-time anti-sexual violence activist Tarana Burke inspired the name High School Too.

In 2006, she created the rallying cry #MeToo to empower sexual assault survivors, especially young Black women, to help them know they are not alone. We are grateful for her leadership in ending harm. MeToo is now a global movement to support survivors’ healing and end sexual violence.

Land acknowledgement

We learn, work and play on and across the traditional territories of many Indigenous nations. We recognize that gender-based violence is one form of violence caused by colonization that is still used today to marginalize and dispossess Indigenous Peoples from their lands and waters. We must centre this truth in our work to address gender-based violence in our schools and communities.

We commit to continuing to learn and take an anti-colonial, inclusive approach in all our work. One way we are honouring this responsibility is by actively incorporating the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the Calls for Justice within Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls
