The Rape Crisis Center is Clark County’s only non-profit providing intervention, advocacy, support and education to those affected by sexual violence. Its mission is to begin the process of healing in victims of sexual assault. The Rape Crisis Center responds to calls 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Once they receive a call, an advocate is available to meet victims at the hospital and follow up with referrals to counseling, support groups and medical aid. The Rape Crisis Center also provides the following services:
All services are free to victims. The Rape Crisis Center receives 86% of funding from grants, with the remainder coming through private foundations, fundraising and private donations.
The Rape Crisis Center dates back to 1974, when Florence McClure and Sandra Petta were outraged by the community’s lack of resources and respect for those affected by sexual assault. They started Community Action Against Rape, which operated out of Mrs. McClure’s home. The goal was to help those affected by sexual violence.
Today, The Rape Crisis Center is located on the College of Southern Nevada campus, and the staff and volunteers also work throughout the Valley. Thirty-three years since it was founded, the Rape Crisis Center now has a team of seven full-time and one part-time staff, along with four paid advocates, 20 volunteer advocates, 20 education facilitators and 14 volunteer board members. Their goal remains the same: The Rape Crisis Center is committed to helping those in our community heal from the trauma of sexual violence. The Rape Crisis Center continues serving all of Clark County, Nevada.
