Haven Ambassadors are Colgate students who have an opportunity to serve as connectors between survivors and support services.
We are excited to welcome a new Haven Ambassador cohort every spring semester. Haven Ambassadors are trained on how to talk with others about sexual violence and make strong referrals to professional resources. Haven Ambassadors have the opportunity to present important topics to the Colgate community and they are invited to work on projects related to their specific interest area. By completing this form, your name will be added to a list of students who will be contacted at the beginning of the spring semester.
What Do the Ambassadors Do?
During their time at Colgate, Ambassadors are part of a close-knit team of justice and love-oriented students with the common goals of seeking to end sexual violence, and using their individual skills and talents to do so. Ambassadors also serve as strong resources to students, with the goal of connecting them to on and off-campus resources.
Ambassadors receive training through a five-week PE Course entitled "Sexual Assault & Action" that equips them with the skills to understand the root causes of sexual violence, respond to a peer in crisis, and learn the difference between support and counseling.
Ambassadors are not peer counselors. Rather, they are students volunteering to help students in crisis and in need of community. They are intimately connected with Haven, the Counseling Center, and other resources designed to support students who have survived trauma.
Ambassador Training is to begin in early February.
