The SAFE Project Collegiate Recovery Leadership Academy (CRLA) application is now open!
The CRLA is an academic-year-long fellowship for college students passionate about the intersections of addiction and mental health recovery, leadership, and advocacy.
CRLA Fellows design and implement a prevention, harm reduction, or recovery-focused Impact Project on their campus. Throughout the program, Fellows receive advocacy and leadership training, attend two in-person events, and join a supportive national cohort of student leaders committed to shifting the culture in higher education.
Applications will close Monday, September 7.
If you know students who are passionate about creating positive change on their campuses—we encourage you to share this opportunity with them!
You can learn more and access the application, as well as FAQs and the Fellowship Agreements here: https://www.safeproject.us/campuses/leadership-academy/
Thank you for helping us connect with passionate student leaders. Please feel free to reach out to Vic Menz ([email protected]), Assistant Director of SAFE Campuses, with any questions about the program.

SAFE Project was founded in November 2017 by Admiral James and Mary Winnefeld, following the loss of their 19-year old son Jonathan to an accidental opioid overdose.
