Advocacy Department Coordinator

Rebuilding Hope Sexual Assault Center is seeking to hire a passionate and capable individual to serve as an Advocacy Department Coordinator.

Rebuilding Hope’s mission is to provide support, promote healing, and partner to end sexual violence. Rebuilding Hope aspires to build communities that do not tolerate oppressive social norms, behaviors, or systems that promote sexual violence or exploitation. Communities where those who have been harmed are believed and supported in pursuit of their individual paths of healing. Communities where sexual violence does not exist, and their people are educated and empowered to center full choice, consent, and safety.

For 50 years, Rebuilding Hope has served as the sole community sexual assault center and only state-accredited Community Sexual Assault Program to Pierce County and, since 2023, to Kitsap County.

We are seeking candidates for this position who are passionate about supporting 24-hour access to confidential, community-based, trauma-informed, and survivor-centered crisis intervention, information and referral, general, medical, and legal advocacy to survivors of sexual assault and abuse and their loved ones.

Rebuilding Hope is committed to developing a team of staff who reflect the diverse demography of our community and who represent the populations who are disproportionately impacted by violence. We strongly encourage members of our Black, Indigenous, 2

SLGBTQIA+, culturally diverse, and differently-abled communities to apply.
