Membership
MNCASA is a membership organization that acts as a collective voice of organizations and individuals committed to ending sexual violence. Members include dual domestic violence and sexual assault programs, rape crisis centers, college and university campuses, law enforcement agencies, offender treatment programs, as well as allied organizations and concerned individuals.
We connect members and increase capacity of programs through networking opportunities, technical assistance, and other resources. MNCASA couldn’t exist without our members – members make us stronger and help shape the resources and services we offer.
Whether you are a direct service provider, allied organization, or someone who wants to work with others to support victims/survivors and prevent sexual violence, we invite you to join the coalition!
