STUDENTS AGAINST VIOLENCE EVERYWHERE ~
COLLEGE
Although a relatively new program at this level,
SAVE has much to offer
for college campuses. As more and more young
people become involved in SAVE
at the K-12 level, it is natural for alumni to want to continue
with the SAVE program in
their collegiate years and beyond. SAVE
has successfully been established as a recognized organization
within student activities boards at community, public, and
private colleges across the nation. Students seek a faculty
advisor to aid them in their work of promoting personal safety,
reducing violent crimes and victimization, under-age drinking
and contraband, as well as encouraging traditional violence
prevention ideals as set forth by SAVE.
Chapters typically meet in the evenings once or twice per month
and establish service projects and awareness campaigns around
how to stay safe on and around campus, as well as continuing to
outreach to local schools and community-based organizations to
mentor youth using violence prevention information.
The National Youth Advisory created the Collegiate
Essentials Manual entitled "How to Start and Maintain a Collegiate SAVE
Chapter." This manual provides a guideline of how to start a
chapter including sample materials that will help
your chapter get started. This manual covers the three essential elements of SAVE
crime prevention, conflict management, and service projects at the collegiate level.
It also gives you ideas on what to focus on in your chapter as well as a sample strategic planning guide
and checklist for starting a collegiate SAVE
chapter. If you are interested in a copy of this collegiate manual, please contact the National SAVE
office toll free at 1-866-343-SAVE.
