Orientation is too late to learn this for the first time.
Most colleges provide some prevention education during orientation. But by then, students are already living the situations those sessions describe, often during the first weeks on campus, in a crowded schedule, from people they've just met.
Young men are better prepared when they arrive with a clear understanding of consent, a personal plan for social situations, and practiced words for stepping in. The grades 11–12 G-Code cohort is built for exactly that window.

Six weeks to campus-ready.
Campus culture and independence
What changes when no one is checking in: values, reputation vs. character, and who he wants to be at 25.
Consent, alcohol and incapacitation
What consent requires, why someone who is incapacitated cannot consent, and how alcohol clouds everyone's judgment, including his own.
Parties and group dynamics
A walkthrough of arriving, drinking, noticing someone isolated, and leaving. Each student builds a Party Plan.
Peer pressure and loyalty
When loyalty to friends conflicts with doing the right thing, and how to hold a line without losing the group.
Stepping in
Bystander intervention practiced through role-play, with "hard sentences" he's rehearsed out loud.
Consequences and conduct
A guest expert explains how campus conduct processes and the law work, and what one night can cost everyone involved.
Working with student leaders and transition programs.
College access programs, bridge and summer transition programs, athletic departments and student organizations, including fraternity and new-member education stakeholders, can request facilitated sessions on consent, peer accountability and stepping in.
Where we are today
The G-Code's current public cohorts serve high school students. College-level sessions for campus organizations are arranged individually and are not a substitute for an institution's required Title IX, Clery Act or conduct-related training. Tell us what you're considering and we'll be straightforward about fit.
For broader engagements, see consent and bystander intervention training for institutions.
Ask about sessions for your program.
Tell us about your students, your timeline and what you hope they leave with. We'll follow up to talk through fit and format.
