Start a Club
Join the movement to uproot abuse by launching a Peer Advocate Crew on campus or in your community!
Are you ready to
educate & activate
your peers?
Anyone can start a Peer Advocate Crew - regardless of experience!
BLOOM365 provides support at every step to help you launch your peer-led movement.
Educate
The first step in launching a Crew is to complete our Educate, Advocate, Activate: Peer Advocate Academy. You will go through an interactive evidence-informed curriculum on healthy v. unhealthy relationships, help-seeking and safety, root causes, influences, communication, consent and coping, bystander intervention, and more!
Advocate
The second part of your Peer Advocate Crew training involves learning and practicing how to help a peer who is experiencing or witnessing interpersonal violence through our empathy-centered LEVEL response training. You will gain the knowledge and skills needed to listen, empathize, validate, encourage and link peers to resources.
Activate & Amplify
At BLOOM365, we have a Big Hairy Audacious Goal: To educate and activate 10% of Gen Z youth by the year 2030 to uproot abuse. You will wrap up your Peer Advocate training with two immersive sessions on activating peers through awareness campaigns and amplifying your voice through public speaking to inspire positive change.
