Project SURVIVE is a peer education program of the Women's Studies department at City College of San Francisco which trains students to make classrooms presentations on promoting healthy relationships. Peer educators, both women and men, suggest resources and information to help students build intimate relationships based on respect and trust. They also offer students strategies for identifying, avoiding, and leaving abusive relationships.

Expect Respect SF (ERSF) is a City College of San Francisco (CCSF) program and a community collaborative of San Francisco domestic and sexual violence prevention programs–including Project SURVIVE at City College of San Francisco, San Francisco Women Against Rape­, La Casa de las Madres, The Riley Center, W.O.M.AN., Inc., Health Initiatives for Youth (HIFY), Shalom-Bayit, Community Youth Center, The SFLGBT Center, Asian Pacific Islanders Legal Outreach, and Females Against Violence–working to promote healthy and violence-free dating through youth-centered, culturally-sensitive education.

Our goal is to introduce healthy relationship workshops to all San Francisco public high school students. Currently, we present our workshops in all 16 SFUSD high schools.

ERSF college-aged and CCSF trained peer educators deliver two presentations on healthy relationships, oppression and power, and youth dating violence to all of the freshmen health classes at each participating high school. One of the collaborating community based organizations makes a third follow-up presentation that concentrates more directly on various topics, such as sexual harassment, homophobia/transphobia, and intimate partner violence safety plans.
