Student Facilitators

What we do

SVPP Training Facilitators play an integral role in the SVPP by facilitating first-year and sophomore trainings. They get to spend a great deal of time enhancing their public speaking, facilitation, and leadership skills, as well as empowering students to take an active role in creating a safe and supportive community. SVPP Training Facilitators are campus culture change agents and contribute to the enhancement of first-year and sophomore students' skills and personal development, delivering over a 100 sessions a year.
