    Description

    Certified Peer Specialists - Join the Survivor Support Network at Project S.A.V.E.

    We are building a healing-centered team of individual Certified Peer Specialists who are passionate about supporting survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence through non-clinical, trauma-informed peer support.

    We are currently looking for CPS volunteers who are available to facilitate both in-person and virtual peer support groups, with groups currently slated to begin in October 2026.

    This opportunity is ideal for Certified Peer Specialists who:

    • Are passionate about survivor-centered and trauma-informed support
    • Have lived experience and formal training in peer support
    • Are comfortable facilitating group-based peer support
    • Can facilitate either in-person, virtual, or both types of groups
    • Want to build connections within the Philadelphia community
    • Are committed to creating a safe, empowering, and supportive environment for survivors

    What you'll do:

    • Facilitate scheduled peer support groups
    • Create a welcoming and supportive group environment
    • Encourage connection, shared experiences, and empowerment
    • Support participants while maintaining appropriate peer-support boundaries
    • Collaborate with Project S.A.V.E. staff around group needs and participant support
