The Green Dot Ambassadors are a group of student peer-leaders who have made a commitment to interrupt behaviors and ideas that create a dangerous and hostile environment for all. They host events throughout the year that look at Tufts social culture and name observed behaviors that students could interrupt. The Ambassadors teach the community ways to intervene based on their safety, personality and comfort level to create a safer campus.

It starts from creating a community and culture where this behavior is unacceptable.
