Why Work with Us? Our dedicated team of experts works alongside partners, contractors and facilitators to lead change in schools, businesses, government and nonprofits across the province. We offer various training opportunities including an introductory option, training built upon existing individual or organizational knowledge and skills, or an intensive train-the-trainer program. Training topics are flexible and may explore news stories of violence against women, highlight best practices for workplaces in response to Occupational Health and Safety changes, or focus on specific issues of interest to your organization or community. Feminist Principles Any effort to reduce violence against women and girls needs to address gender inequality. We want to ensure that the methods are effective and do not end up reinforcing the very gender inequalities we are all trying to reduce. ACWS works in partnership with, and is accountable to, feminist principles, women’s rights and gender justice organizations. ACWS is proud to have partnered with both professional football clubs in Alberta: the Edmonton Elks and the Calgary Stampeders. CFL players participated in training and have delivered this curriculum by invitation, across Alberta. The presence of professional football players in schools and hosting coaching clinics to educate coaches, has inspired students and student-athletes about the Leading Change messaging.
