Our 2026 peer support specialist cohort is fully funded across five Colorado counties: Adams, Denver, Boulder, Weld, and Mesa. 150 spots, all COPA-approved, free for residents 18+.

This cohort represents the largest single-year expansion of peer-driven recovery support in the SAFE history. Trained peers will embed at events, on campuses, and in community settings, making sober presence visible where it matters most.

Why peer-led?

Lived experience is the credential. Peer specialists meet people where they are, not in a clinical office, but at the venue, on the campus quad, in the green room before a show. The 2026 curriculum doubles down on harm-reduction tools, Naloxone administration, and recovery-friendly event production.

Apply to train if you’re in one of our five counties. No prior experience required.

Donor Spotlight: Recurring Giving Q1 2026
Q1 2026 was a milestone quarter for SAFE giving. Recurring donors now fund 38% of our peer-training budget — a structural shift from event-driven fundraising to sustained, predictable program support. To every donor who set up a monthly contribution this quarter: thank you. Predictable funding lets us plan multi-year cohorts, commit to university partnerships, and embed peers at events months in advance instead of week-of.
