Dear Future Volunteer,

Welcome to SASS and to the movement to end sexual violence. SASS’ mission is to provide services to survivors of past and present sexual assault, and to change societal conditions that allow oppression, especially sexual violence, to exist. Displayed elsewhere on this website you will find an outline of SASS’ 24-hour direct services for the people of Lane County and Oregon. Whether you are new to this social/political movement or continuing in your work to end the violence of sexual abuse, I thank you sincerely for your interest in volunteering at SASS.

Our Direct Service Training puts sexual violence into a political and social context. It is required for all volunteers.  You must complete all the trainings on the schedule before you can do direct service, and the first weekend must be completed before advancing.
