Join us at SAFER!

We’re seeking some energetic college students and recent graduates to join our Board of Directors! We are a volunteer collective that conducts the work of the organization. Our Board of Directors is made up of current college and graduate students and recent graduates who are dedicated to the anti-violence movement. If you’d like to get involved in a leadership role, have about 7 hours a week on average to spare, and are committed to our mission of reforming college sexual assault policies, please contact us to request more information and an application. Preference will be given to applicants in the New York City area, since most of our meetings and events are in New York City. If you’d like to learn more about what it’s like to be on the Board, one of the members would be happy to meet with you and answer any questions. Examples of some activities you could be a part of include: planning fundraising or awareness events; coordinating and delivering trainings/presentations to students or faculty/staff; representing SAFER at local/national conferences and on coalitions; responding to student inquires; doing outreach around our Policies Database; and writing for our Blog, Change Happens. We have meetings every month (in person and via phone) and committees meet as needed between our monthly meetings.
