Prevention Educator

Who We Are

Are you interested in being part of an organization dedicated to preventing gender-based violence and empowering survivors? At Women Helping Women, we believe in the power of survivors to rebuild their lives and are committed to providing the support and resources they need to do so. We operate on the principle that survivors are the experts of their own lives, and our mission is to stand by them on their journey from immediate safety to long-term stability.

Our success is grounded in a comprehensive prevention approach that includes a five-day classroom-based program designed to equip students with the knowledge and resources needed to build healthy relationships in all areas of their lives. In addition, we provide community education and training for community partners on topics such as sexual assault, bystander intervention, sexual harassment, and domestic violence. Beyond the classroom, we also offer training for bar facilities and campus-based audiences, remaining actively engaged in efforts to create a world free from violence.

Join us in making a meaningful and lasting impact on individuals and the broader community.
