RSVP (Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention) Peer Educators are a group of undergraduate students in the Center for Health and Wellness Promotion that support campus-wide prevention and education efforts. RSVP Peer Educators are responsible for: implementing prevention education on topics like healthy relationships, consent, bystander intervention, and how to support a survivor; planning and facilitating events for Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) and Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM); and working with different student groups to foster a culture of care!
RSVP Peer Educators are required to attend an initial training session at the beginning of the semester and will participate in on-going training and continuing education throughout the semester. The RSVP Peer Educator positions are semester-long appointments with opportunity for extensions and preference given to those interested in at least two semesters of service. The role requires an average of 4-6 hours of work per week including but not limited to outreach, marketing, peer advising, peer facilitation, presenting, tabling and administrative tasks. Peer Educators receive class credit or a stipend for their participation in the program.
Applications are currently closed and will reopen annually in the spring semester.
