Get Involved and Take Action Against Sexual Violence
Volunteer for ASUW Committee Organizing Rape Education (CORE)
CORE is a group of student volunteers who are dedicated to ending sexual assault and relationship violence through peer education. They provide presentations and facilitate discussions in the UW community.
Student volunteers receive 40 hours of training on a variety of sexual violence issues and public speaking. Volunteers lead discussions and presentations in the residence halls, Greek system and to Freshman Interest Groups (FIGs). Email CORE to get involved.
Join the Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence Awareness (SARVA) Week committee.
SARVA Week takes place every year during the month of April, which is sexual assault awareness month. The SARVA committee plans and coordinates the events and programs during that week. Past committees consist of representatives from ASUW commissions, registered student organizations and others. Email CORE to get involved.
