Giving Tuesday

2024 #GivingTuesday ARHE Fundraiser

We know that your money is valuable and that there are many competing priorities to donate to this year. We ask that you consider the impact that student recovery has made in your life, or the lives of the people you love. Have you or your loved ones been impacted by collegiate recovery? Perhaps you/they were able to attend school, graduate, get a job; perhaps you/they were able to build community and support networks; perhaps you/they were able to find a sense of belonging, regardless of where life took you/them. We also recognize that not every student has the opportunity to get support or find recovery; if you have a loved one who could have benefitted from having collegiate recovery on their campus, please consider helping us bring programs to more campuses. At ARHE, we are dedicated to supporting collegiate recovery programs and help programs effectively get started at more schools, so that they have the opportunity to impact the lives of their students year after year. 

#GivingTuesday is a global movement dedicated to charitable giving at the start of the holiday season. Proceeds from #GivingTuesday this year will help us continue to scale resources for collegiate recovery programs with services and resources such as Technical Assistance. 

  • $50 provides an hour of technical assistance to a program.
  • $100 provides an initial assessment and consultation for a new program.
  • $275 provides a conference registration package for a student to attend the annual conference. 
  • $500 covers a month of educational resources and webinars.
  • $1000 or $85/month recurring donation provides five months of technical assistance for a new program. 
    • Provides additional benefits to the donor: become a collegiate recovery champion; receive special recognition in ARHE newsletter, social media and website; have membership fees waived for the year.
  • $2500 provides 12 weeks pay for a student intern ($15/hour).
    • Provides additional benefits to the donor: become a collegiate recovery champion; receive special recognition in ARHE newsletter, social media and website; have membership fees waived for the year; receive a complimentary registration for the ARHE/ARS/APG annual conference.

    The Little Book of College Sobriety

    The Little Book of College Sobriety

    The path to recovery is a trek from self-discovery to action. The courageous young storytellers in this book describe this journey, and the moment when the pain of addiction meets the joy of connection–and joy wins. Their stories shed new light on ways to grow and sustain good emotional health for anyone wanting to live with steadiness, peace of mind and joy.

    You can listen to the stories too, through pre-recorded audio tracks found in the book.

    The proceeds from the sale of this book go to the Association of Recovery in Higher Education. ARHE is the only association exclusively representing college students in recovery, and staff and faculty who support them.

    Susan Packard is a media entrepreneur and a sober, hope-rich author who has contributed to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and Refinery 29. This is her third book about emotional fitness and the many shapes it takes in people’s lives, and how it is essential to living with peace and joy. She is a frequent speaker and gave a TEDx talk about emotional fitness at UCLA.
