SHARE Peers Program

The purpose of the SHARE Peer Program is to:

  • Plan activities, programs, and events to raise awareness on campus about sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic/dating violence and stalking
  • Facilitate evidence-based primary prevention workshops (e.g., bystander intervention, healthy relationship education)
  • Facilitate access to SHARE and other campus resources
  • Serve as the liaisons between the student body and the SHARE office to convey concerns, needs or issues pertaining to sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic/dating violence and stalking

Types of Membership

Full Member

Each Full Member will serve as spokespersons, student mentors, and referral agents for the SHARE office. Supervised by SHARE staff, the SHARE Peers provide workshops and programming to empower students with healthy relationship skills and to promote active bystander behavior.  They can support students on campus who are experiencing unhealthy relationships or other SHARE-related issues by offering peer support, discussing resources, and accompanying students to meetings for support.  SHARE Peers are designated as private resources on campus; this means they are not required to report SHARE-related disclosures to Title IX, but are required to check in with confidential SHARE staff when they receive disclosures.  This process helps ensure self-care for the SHARE Peers, assists them with information to share with the student and with connecting the student to SHARE or other campus resources.  SHARE Peers are not confidential and as such, are subject to legal subpoenas and university investigation processes, if applicable.  For more information about confidential, private and non-confidential resources, visit our Resources page or contact us directly via email or phone.
