Sexual Assault Awareness Violence Education Team

The East Los Angeles College Sexual Assault Awareness Violence Education Team (SAAVE) is a group of faculty, staff, administrators, and community professionals who are dedicated to violence prevention and intervention. Through raising awareness, providing resources, and educating people about the different forms that violence can take, we will help the ELAC campus community never have to accept excuses, be afraid to speak up, or live in fear.

Please note that SAAVE is not a crisis support team.

If you are in crisis, please contact:
