The Consent Academy offers an extensive library of consent-oriented classes.
Most courses are designed to be 2 hours, but can be adjusted to fit your needs.
We're always creating more classes. If you don't see what you're looking for exactly, we create custom workshops.
Workshop Categories
Topics can be taught individually or combined in a series.
Foundations of Consent
We all need to be able to talk about consent and how to build consent culture. Most of us have learned that 'no means no' and 'yes means yes', but consent goes way beyond that. Foundations of Consent is a conversational workshop exploring the fundamental pillars of consent, so you can start to practice consent more in your daily life. Participation is very encouraged and your own questions are centered, whether they're about a first hug, a new relationship, a workplace, or sex.

Consent Intensives
There are some topics you can break up into smaller courses and talk about in a couple of hours, and there are some that require more time to go deep and build a strong foundation. Many of these intensives are skills-based and provide ample time to practice and get individual feedback.

Consent and Leadership
Consent and Leadership is a unique opportunity for leaders to deepen their understanding of consent, power, trauma, and accountability. Each workshop explores the knowledge, skills, and practices anyone who finds themselves in a position of influence or authority needs in order to foster a consensual space.

Accountability
Accountability processes and pods have the potential to repair relationships and strengthen communities. At the same time, these are also very specific methods of creating accountability with plenty of risks associated with them. We've created a series or courses focused on the skills and knowledge needed to increase your chances of a successful accountability process or pod.

Complex Consent
When you move beyond "no means no" and "yes means yes", consent can get quite complicated. Luckily, the Consent Academy was founded to help you sort through the complexities.

Relationship Skills
Relationship skills (also known as interpersonal skills) help us communicate and connect with other people. While they're something we practice all the time, we often have gaps in our learning around healthy ways to do it.

Consent and Sex
Consent isn't always about sex, but sometimes it is. We believe consent is an essential part of any sexual act, yet it's rarely something people have been taught about in detail. We want to change that. Our sex educators have created courses to help you navigate consent and sex in a way that is safer, more connective, and satisfying to everyone involved.

Consent and Dance
Social dancing is a beautiful world of creativity, connection, and self-expression. At the same time, there can be quite a bit of consent risk when bringing groups of people together, many of whom are strangers, to move and touch while music plays. Our social dancing educators are here to help with courses teaching the necessary consent skills for a thriving dance community.

Consent and Gaming
Whether it's a tabletop role playing game, computer game, or board game, consent is always at play. The more complex the game or interaction, the more consent is needed so everyone can have fun. Our gaming educators have put together a set of courses designed to explore consent so you can take your play to a new level.
