Speaker Vetting Guidelines

This guideline will help ensure speakers share accurate, inclusive, and trauma-aware content that aligns with our mission to educate the general public as well as students at schools and colleges, reduce stigma, and foster compassion. Volunteers will help protect audiences, strengthen trust, and improve the quality of our educational programming.

This will help to provide a set of guidelines when determining if a speaker is right for us. This will speed up efficiency as well as give other volunteers specifics to look for.
