Overview

Campus Civil Rights (CCR) supports all individuals impacted by discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence. A cornerstone of CCR's work is prevention, and Peer Educators play an essential role in that endeavor!


Peer Educators will run Bystander Intervention & Consent presentations and workshops and mentor/train new Peer Educators. Since the prevention education and outreach program is a dynamic, robust service, Peer Educators can take on more diverse responsibilities if they desire! Peer Educators could step into the role of event planning, digital educational tool development, recruitment, program expansion, etc. 

A minimum commitment of two academic semesters is requested. Peer Educators will receive training on public speaking, trauma informed care, Bystander Intervention, Consent, and Red Flags. Part of the training asynchronous and online and the rest of the training is practicing public speaking and teaching the content with Madi Herman (Training Development Coordinator) and fellow Peer Educators. As part of the application process, you will need to complete an in person interview with Madi Herman.
