In partnership with the Director of Prevention and Prevention Team, the Prevention Specialist supports a range of prevention programs at SARA. Responsibilities include: (1) Recruiting, training, and equipping male-identified community leaders to promote sexual assault prevention in their spheres of influence. This includes training and support around emotional health, community building, bystander intervention, and health literacy. (2) Building relationships with local faith-based organizations to provide training and policy support for teams of leaders who are dedicated to preventing and addressing child sexual abuse. Applicants must have demonstrated skills in training, organization, client service, and a background understanding emotional literacy and masculinity issues. Additional skills include cultural humility, long-term planning, adaptability, professionalism, and an ability to apply trauma-informed practices and health promotion principles. Fluency in Spanish is extremely preferred. Please send cover letter and resume to prevention@saracville.org .
The mission of the Sexual Assault Resource Agency (SARA) is to eliminate sexual violence and its impact by providing education, advocacy and support to men, women, children, and non-binary people. Our vision is a community free from sexual violence.
