Sexual Respect Ambassadors
If a student or fellow employee comes up to you and discloses they have experienced some form of sexual violence, do you know what to do?

Langara developed the Sexual Respect Ambassador Program in 2017 in order to encourage conversations about consent, to foster a safe space for disclosures, and share information about the resources available to those who have experienced sexualized violence. The Sexual Respect Ambassador program is a College-wide program, supported by the Office of Student Conduct & Academic Integrity, People and Culture, and the Sexual Violence Prevention Committee. 

This team plays a leading role in supporting culture change at Langara College and fostering an understanding of the importance of sexual violence and misconduct prevention. We would like to encourage all members of the College Community to join as a Sexual Respect Ambassador so that we may help to build a safer campus community. You can join by contact the Student Conduct & Academic Integrity Office at studentconduct@langara.ca 

Employee Sexual Respect Ambassador Program
We are looking for volunteers who are passionate about making a difference in the College community to join the Sexual Respect Ambassador program. Ambassadors act as “go-to” resources within their departments. Ambassadors receive training in Langara Policy and the Law; Sexual Harassment from a Human Rights Perspective; Responding to Disclosures; Understanding Consent; Making Referrals; and Bystander Intervention.

By recruiting and training faculty and staff across campus for this program, the goal is to engage the broader community in this topic and to utilize existing relationships and connections to help foster a safer and caring campus community.

Details on the responsibilities, time commitment, and benefits for Ambassadors can be found HERE.
