The U of A Sexual Assault Centre (UASAC) Volunteer/Education Program provides students with meaningful opportunities to support sexual and gender-based violence prevention and survivor-centred advocacy on campus. Guided by feminist, intersectional, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and community-driven values, volunteers help promote a culture of consent through education, outreach, and peer engagement.
