Volunteers needed for Hawk Week Sexual Violence Prevention Program


LAWRENCE — On Saturday, Aug. 18, the Sexual Assault Prevention & Education Center (SAPEC) will train all incoming students to be active bystanders against sexual violence. By training incoming students through Jayhawks Give a FLOCK!, KU’s evidenced-based bystander intervention workshop, the university has the opportunity to change campus culture and empower its newest students to take an active role in preventing sexual violence in their community.

This event is part of Hawk Week and is a mandatory event for all incoming students. With a projected incoming class of more than 4,000 students for the fall 2018 semester, SAPEC needs the assistance of dedicated faculty, staff and graduate students from across campus who are willing to serve as volunteers throughout the day.

Volunteers can sign up for shifts from 8:30-10:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 12:30-2:30 p.m. Lunch and limited edition Jayhawks Give a FLOCK! T-shirts will be provided to all facilitators. 

SAPEC would ideally like to have as many volunteers as possible who can facilitate all three sessions. However, volunteers’ schedules will be accommodated if they are unable to be there the entire day. Child care will also be provided through Hilltop Child Development Center for children (ages 1-12) of volunteers upon request.

Volunteers can serve in one of two ways: as onsite coordinators who help with check-in and registration or as workshop facilitators. Individuals wishing to facilitate Jayhawks Give a FLOCK! must complete facilitator training this summer:
