WHO WE ARE

Since 2013, the Survivor Advocacy Outreach Program has been a trusted nonprofit organization committed to supporting survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and stalking. Our work is driven by a survivor-centered, trauma-informed, and empowerment-based approach.

Our Mission

SAOP empowers the community and all survivors to live free of sexual violence, domestic violence, human trafficking, and stalking.

Our Vision

A world where everyone has the support to live a safe life free of violence.

Our Values

Empowerment

We use an empowerment model of service when working with survivors. Survivors know their stories best. We strive to empower survivors to make the choices they see as being important on their path towards justice and healing.

Community

Individuals who experience interpersonal violence do not exist in a vacuum. We value community and recognize how a supportive community, or lack thereof, can affect a survivor’s healing and/or create environments that support interpersonal violence.

Integrity

Through our work with survivors, we are entrusted with extremely personal and sensitive information. Because of this, we operate under stringent practices to keep such information secure and confidential on behalf of our clients.
