SafeBAE

What SafeBAE does

SafeBAE (Safe Before Anyone Else) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2015 and headquartered in Bristol, Rhode Island, focused on sexual violence prevention education for middle and high school students in the United States. The organization is survivor-founded and youth-led, with a board majority composed of youth members, and operates on a mission-driven, non-commercial basis.

Its core offerings include school-based prevention curricula delivered via in-person and virtual formats, a network of 2,000+ trained peer educators across 45 states, and the National School Sexual Violence Climate Survey, a research instrument co-developed with Dr. Charlene Senn and validated in a peer-reviewed Journal of Child Sexual Abuse article. In 2024, SafeBAE launched Vibe Check, an anonymous peer-to-peer documentation service for students to record unsafe experiences, built in partnership with REES (an encrypted student-built documentation tool) and explicitly staffed by humans rather than AI. SafeBAE also maintains a college-student mentor program extending support into higher education and is producing Spanish-language curricular materials.

The organization funds itself through individual donations (e.g., a $29,000 gift from actress Torrey DeVitto in 2025), grants (e.g., the Stanley Creators Fund), and sliding-scale program fees paid by partner schools. Programs are offered free of charge to students. SafeBAE has 24 employees and is governed by a board with youth majority representation; its advisory footprint has expanded in 2025 via the HopSkipDrive Safety Advisory Board and a partnership with MAHPERD in Massachusetts.
