Our Impact

Project S.A.V.E was founded in 2016 as a volunteer-led grassroots organization dedicated to supporting individuals impacted by sexual violence, intimate partner violence, trauma, and mental health challenges. What began as a community-driven effort rooted in education, advocacy, and community has continued to grow into a trauma-informed organization focused on healing, empowerment, and connection.

Project S.A.V.E provides person-centered programs and services designed to meet individuals where they are. Through advocacy, peer support, wellness programming, therapy, youth initiatives, and community education, we strive to create safe and affirming spaces for people of diverse backgrounds and lived experiences.

Guided by our core values of “Education. Advocacy. Community.”, we believe no one should have to navigate healing alone.

Project S.A.V.E continues to serve members where they are. Project S.A.V.E has developed a philosophy that serves as our backing of the culture of our organization. Our philosophy is simple Creating a culture of safety and inclusion so every voice can be heard.

We hope that our organization touches you to get involved, whether it’s with our organization or through other channels. We just want to encourage our community members to help spread the message, so we have designed a toolkit to help with your own personal impact. This toolkit has all information for you to share and join the fight against ending the stigma.

“Project S.A.V.E means what they say about being accessible. I was able to have them come out to my home and still do my sessions with me. I am grateful for them.”

“I wanted to work with Project S.A.V.E for a couple of reasons. I have done papers and research about IPV and also services for survivors as well as those who are still going through it. The biggest reason though was because I believed in the mission and the passion to be an avenue for all who have been affected directly or indirectly. I wanted to help and make sure that the organization got over the hump to make everything official and know that YOU had genuine support to make the vision something tangible.”
