Recovery culture, built on campus.
We embed Peer Advocates inside university Collegiate Recovery Programs — students with lived experience who normalize sobriety through connection, campus events, and peer-to-peer support.
Program Pillars
Sustained wellness culture
Student leadership becomes the permanent engine of campus health -- not a program that ends when staff leave.
Reduced substance-use risk
A campus environment where safe, sober alternatives are visible, celebrated, and socially normalized for every student.
Real-world recovery support
Safe, sober activities outside treatment through Sober AF events at Rockies, Avalanche, Nuggets, and CU football.
Community connection
Relationships with peers in recovery at fun, meaningful events -- because belonging is foundational to lasting recovery.
Bring SAFE To Your Campus
How It Works
Onboarding and foundations
Peer Advocates embed at campus hubs. Onboarding establishes host-site placement, PRSS certification, and self-paced CREM training -- 6-8 hours per week.
Building campus presence
Advocates lead outreach, run peer support groups, facilitate Denver Sober AF events, and build a visible sober social culture across the school.
Compensation and credentials
Engaged as 1099 contractors at $20/hour. Peers gain vocational experience in the recovery space and earn nationally-recognized PRSS credentials.
