Champions

The One Love Champions for Healthy Relationships Program is a paid, in-person professional development initiative designed to empower young people (aged 16-24) in Washington D.C (‘24-’25 Academic Year) and the Baltimore Metropolitan Area (Summer 2025) to become advocates for healthy relationships. The program offers participants leadership and professional development workshops, advocacy opportunities, and hands-on community engagement. Stay tuned as we expand the program to One Love regions across the U.S.
