SARSSM’s Youth Prevention and Education Program provides trainings, resources, and student engagement opportunities at local colleges and university campuses. We especially love supporting student-led efforts to prevent and bring awareness to sexual violence!

Resident Advisor & Orientation Leader Trainings

Resident Advisors (RAs) and Orientation Leaders play an important role in fostering cultures of consent, safety and respect on college and university campuses. Each fall, our Youth Prevention & Education Program trains RAs and Orientation Leaders on fostering safer residential communities, actively engaging in sexual violence prevention efforts, and offering appropriate support and resources to students in need. Please email us for more information.

Resident Advisor Online Toolkit

Our Youth Prevention & Education Program team created an online toolkit for RAs filled with helpful resources to support student survivors, creative and effective ideas for programs and bulletin boards, and tips to engage students in sexual violence awareness and prevention conversations! RAs can access this toolkit after completing the RA Training mentioned above. ​
