01 / Communication
Beyond the yes or no
Understanding consent as an ongoing, mutual conversation — and recognizing when someone is unsure.
A different conversation about consent
Go beyond
yes and no.
Consent isn’t just about knowing the rules. It’s about knowing how to handle real situations.
From attraction and mixed signals to alcohol, boundaries and looking out for your friends, Beyond Yes and No gives college men practical tools to navigate the moments that matter.
An interactive workshop built around real conversations.
The workshop
Not another lecture. A conversation that matters.
Beyond Yes and No is an interactive workshop designed for fraternity chapters and college men. It approaches consent as a practical communication skill — not simply a rule to memorize. Through realistic scenarios and guided discussion, students practice navigating complex situations with clarity, confidence and respect.

What we cover
Skills for real situations.
02 / Boundaries
Clarity without pressure
How to ask, listen, set boundaries, and respect a decision or change of mind.
03 / Attraction
Confidence and respect
Communicating interest without assumptions, coercion or awkward scripts.
04 / Uncertainty
When you’re not sure, ask
Learning to recognize uncertainty, communicate directly, and understand when to pause or stop.
05 / Alcohol
When judgment changes
Understanding why impairment affects the ability to consent, and when to stop.
06 / Rejection
Handling the answer
Responding to boundaries and rejection with maturity and respect.
07 / Stepping in
See it. Say something. Do something.
Recognizing when a situation at a party or with a friend is heading somewhere bad, and practical ways to step in.
How it works
Real talk for real nights out.
Realistic scenarios, demonstrated conversations and facilitated discussion help students turn concepts into decisions they can actually use.
