MVMT Peer Educators

MVMT Peer Educators is a student-led organization housed within the NC State Women’s Center. We host weekly meetings and participate in, and host, larger events throughout the year. Our mission statement is to educate and expand knowledge on the topic of interpersonal violence (IPV) on NC State’s campus (and beyond!) and support survivors of IPV through weekly meetings, educational presentations, and expressive workshops.

Spring 2026 weekly meetings are Thursdays from 5-6 PM in the Women’s Center.

Note for Survivors

If you have experienced interpersonal violence, joining MVMT Peer Educators may be an empowering experience for you. It may also be triggering. Please keep this in mind as you apply to determine if engaging with MVMT is the best decision for you at this time. There is absolutely no need to disclose any prior experience of interpersonal violence. However, if you do, please note that the individuals collecting these applications are responsible employees. That means they have an obligation to report all disclosures of interpersonal violence to NC State University. If you disclose incident(s) of sexual violence (which includes sexual assault, sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, stalking, and relationship violence) involving yourself, or any members of the NC State community, we have an obligation to report that to the NC State University Title IX Coordinator. After a report is made they will reach out with an email offering resources and a chance to meet, which you have the right to accept or decline.
