Prevention Advocate

Rebuilding Hope Sexual Assault Center is seeking to hire a passionate and capable individual to serve as a Prevention Advocate.

Rebuilding Hope’s mission is to provide support, promote healing, and partner to end sexual violence.

Communities where sexual violence does not exist, and their people are educated and empowered to center full choice, consent, and safety.
