Founded in 1974 as Community Action Against Rape (CAAR), The Rape Crisis Center (RCC) began as the combined effort of Florence McClure and Sandra Petta, two women living in Las Vegas who were outraged by the lack of resources and respect for those affected by sexual assault. Mrs. McClure ran The RCC out of her home, with the goal of helping those in Clark County heal from the trauma of sexual violence, and today, the goal remains the same.

Currently, The RCC serves all of Clark County, Nevada. The organization is committed to providing crisis intervention, advocacy, support, and education to those affected by sexual violence. In order for The RCC to assist victims in the transition to become survivors, our non-profit organization depends on a core base of dedicated volunteers and staff. These individuals are empathetic and enthusiastic people who give their time, energy, and personal sacrifice to continue to serve Clark County’s victims of sexual violence. This service is provided through face-to-face and over-the- phone intervention with newly victimized individuals. 


Mission

We commit to offering help, hope, and healing to those affected by sexual violence.
We provide education, awareness and support as far as our arms can reach.
