We believe that real change happens when individuals come together to challenge sexual violence, abuse, and harmful behaviours. By fostering a culture of safety, respect, and empowerment, we create spaces where students can connect, learn, and take meaningful action. Whether through peer support, activism, or education, every member of our community plays a vital role in shaping a safer campus and beyond.

 

How to Get Involved

There are many ways to be part of CARE, whether you want to actively lead change or simply support the movement:

  • Attend Events & Workshops – Join discussions, training sessions, events, and awareness campaigns to build knowledge and skills.
  • Become an Ambassador – Take on a volunteer role by helping to promote CARE’s mission, facilitate workshops, and support outreach efforts. Contribute your time by assisting with events, peer support initiatives, or content creation.
  • Engage Online – Follow CARE on social media, share resources, and participate in digital advocacy efforts.
  • Collaborate with us – If you do work related to sexual health, sexual violence, embodiment, trauma, or consent education we would love to hear from you.

 

CARE Project Ambassadors

Join other committed individuals in a core team that shapes the CARE Project and supports its development. Work closely with the CARE team, SU's sabbatical officers, SU Advice team and other student-organising groups across the year. Here's what you'll gain:

  • Experience planning and delivering community events.
  • Knowledge of sexual health education and sexual violence prevention.
  • Contribution to project strategic planning and community organising.
  • Leadership skills through event management, community building, and campaigns work.
  • Official certificate of achievement (HEAR report).

 

Why be an Ambassador?

This is a valuable opportunity to get involved in community organising against pervasive social harms and issues. In addition to gaining knowledge of sexual health education and sexual violence prevention, be a part of a core team that contributes to strategic planning and organising. You will also learn leadership skills through event management, community building, and campaigns work. This is also a good opportunity to network with other student organisers and meet like-minded peers.

You will also be able to take part in CARE team-only activities such as trips and outings, but also other rewards when available.

 

What is the expected commitment?
  • An induction session into the history of the project with Beatrix - CARE Project Coordinator.
  • Active Bystander Training delivered by Peer Facilitators.
  • Monthly focus group to discuss CARE updates and suggest any new ideas for the project.
  • Option to support the Peer Facilitators with event organising and outreach sessions (up to 20 hours per term). If you decide to get involved in this way, you will be working closely with one Peer Facilitator as your ‘buddy’, assisting them.
  • Option to run your own one-off or regular events for the CARE Project for which we can offer a limited budget to cover food/drinks or materials.
  • An evaluation/reflection form at the end of the academic year.
