Circle of 6 knows how hard it can be to reach out when you need help, or to talk about things that are awkward, confusing, or worse. Their goal is to make the world a safer and healthier place with technology that enhances friendship and trust. In 2011 the White House created the “Apps Against Abuse” challenge to inspire citizens to build a mobile tool to prevent sexual violence on college campuses. Taking a public health approach, Circle of 6 tested with students and learned from the experience of survivors, experts and LGBTQ users, to design a tool that met young people where they are. After winning the White House challenge they received immediate media coverage and the app spread to 36 countries around the world, and is being used on college campuses of all sizes across the US.
