Mission Statement
STARS’s purpose is to raise awareness and educate the public about sexual violence. This includes raising awareness about the effects and prevalence of sexual violence. Its focus is also to provide information for victims of this crime so that they can get help and explore ways to prevent sexual violence. Our highest priority is to let survivors know there is help out there, they are not alone and to help them celebrate healing. This is all done on a volunteer basis.
