about granite state respect week:

​Granite State RESPECT Week (GSRW) is a teen-centered campaign that takes place in high schools across New Hampshire during Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. GSRW 2017 was made possible by HopeLine by Verizon, a Verizon Wireless Program working to end domestic violence through various initiatives, including funding projects that support victims and survivors of domestic violence and prioritize prevention.

The structure of this project is similar to a high school spirit week in that each day has a unique theme that ties into the greater message of teen dating violence awareness. GSRW is based off of an initiative that was originally developed by loveisrespect.org in an effort to engage, educate and empower young people during Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. The Coalition and its 13 member programs have adopted this initiative and tailored it to meet the needs of New Hampshire schools. 
It is our hope that with the support of the Coalition and local crisis center educators, New Hampshire high schools will adopt this initiative to promote healthy relationships and foster communities of respect in schools across NH. GSRW was designed to empower schools and students to customize this project to reflect the needs and capacity of their school and community. There were no minimum or maximum requirements for school participation.​

Materials coming soon!

The theme of Granite State RESPECT Week (GSRW) 2018 is "Respond with RESPECT" and  materials will be made available in December 2017.

HopeLine from Verizon Wireless collects no-longer used wireless phones and accessories, and then refurbishes and recycles. When the refurbished phones are sold, Verizon Wireless uses the proceeds to purchase phones for survivors of domestic violence and to fund non-profit initiatives like Granite State RESPECT Week. 

We are grateful to Verizon Wireless for all they do to support victims of domestic violence and the agencies that serve them.
