SAPAs take referrals through the general SAPA email. To reach a SAPA, please email [email protected] and the SAPA intern will get you connected with an active SAPA within 48 hours. In your email, please inclue your name, Dartmouth email, phone number (if you would like to be reached by phone or text), and any preferences for what SAPA you would like to work with (a specific identity or affiliation or specific person from the Active SAPA's list, etc.). SAPAs are availabe when the term is in session. SAPA's do not take referrals during term breaks, and the SAPA email address is not regularly monitered during breaks.
