Description
MySideKick powered by Every Two Minutes is a comprehensive mobile app that empowers college students to combat rape culture & sexual violence on their campus.
MySideKick was created to accelerate the work that we already see happening on campuses and online from college students and young people. We democratized access to information and giving students (yes, you) the opportunity to scale a cultural movement.
Every Two Minutes respects student voices. We practice conscientious data collection to ensure students’ autonomy and privacy.
We are transferring the power from paper-pushers to change-makers –– to the new decision-makers. Every Two Minutes and MySideKick literally puts the power in your hands.
So go out and spread the word. You’ve got a system to dismantle.
MySideKick is a combination of hazard reporting and alerts on a map in real-time (think Waze for a college campus); a more customizable version of iOS Find My Friends; visual verification of parties with party monitors present and private chat capabilities; on-demand visual education modules; and when an emergency situation occurs, MySideKick provides visual guides based on the student’s location and school to easily navigate their options including while studying abroad, opposed to digging through their school website or relying on Google.

ABOUT EVERY TWO MINUTES:
We believe one’s pursuit of an education in a nonviolent environment is not a privilege, it is a human right. Far too many of our former classmates, friends, and family member’s lives have been disrupted, educations and careers interrupted, due to sexual violence.
We have made it our mission to move the needle, and that starts with lowering incidence rates on our college campuses. We are laser focused on eradicating sexual violence from the college experience.
We believe in conscientious data collection. We will never sell your personal identifying information or provide it to your school, and it is securely stored at Every Two Minutes.
