The Cause or Clientele
The King County Sexual Assault Center believes that all people,
including children, have the right to be free to live without the fear of
sexual violence. We also believe that victims of sexual abuse and their
non-offending family members deserve support to alleviate the trauma of
sexual abuse in their lives. Volunteer opportunities are currently
available in a variety of areas and we are recruiting now for our October
and January training sessions. Please call 226-5062 to help eliminate
sexual violence in your community.
