Hello! My name is Duane de Four and I am an experienced anti-violence activist & educator

My Work

My work addresses a number of timely social issues such as; gender violence prevention, redefining masculinity, consent, restorative justice, anti-racism, and sexual health.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of providing support, guidance, and/or education around these issues to people in a wide variety of settings and roles, including:

  • Coaches, players, and staff in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and NASCAR

  • Personnel in all branches of the U.S. Military

  • Students, staff and faculty in colleges and universities across the U.S.

  • Students, staff and faculty in public and private middle and high schools

  • Leadership, staff and volunteers in non-profit and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the US and overseas

  • Leadership and staff in small businesses and larger corporations

  • Attendees at numerous conferences and events

You walk away from [Duane’s] lectures, workshops, or trainings feeling genuinely connected to the content and the presenter, in a way that leaves you feeling hungry for more.
