On November 20-21, 2026, 8th-12th grade students, parents, and school faculty, staff, and administrators will gather in Washington, DC for the 11th Annual GDS Consent Summit. During this summit, participants will explore the complexity of sexual violence and consent. Guided by experts in the field, participants will learn how to examine current laws, policies, and programs established to support survivors, advocate for rights, and prevent sexual assault. Participants are and will continue to apply this knowledge to their own schools and communities where they can design initiatives and prompt culture change.

​

The GDS Consent Summit is organized and planned by students who are passionate about these issues. While faculty members do provide assistance, students are the ones who ultimately connect with the presenters, manage outreach, and help make sure that the event runs smoothly. ​
