About the Resource Sharing Project
The RSP is here to explore both the big and small questions with you.
Wanting to start a new rural sexual assault support group? Trying to figure out how to work with your new coalition board members? Curious about how other administrators support new and emerging organizations? Just getting started in your role or as a new coalition and not sure where to begin?
If you work to support sexual assault survivors’ healing at an advocacy program, sexual assault coalition, or state/territory administering agency, we are here for you. The answers to ending sexual violence lie outside the isolation and systems of power and control that create and enable sexual violence. Let’s connect.
Some of the ways we can work together include:
- Phone or email
- RSP-run listservs and email lists
- Office hours and open space meetings
- RSP-hosted topical calls and webinars
- New staff or board orientations
- Organizational training, presentations, and workshops
- National conferences or roundtables

Our Approach
We believe that strong, responsive, and tailored sexual assault healing services are built on the relationship between advocacy programs, coalitions, and state/territory administering agencies. And we believe that getting support empowers you to be creative and responsive in how you conceptualize, fund, train on, and/or provide services and advocacy that work for the survivors you work for and with. Just like the shapes in our logo are the foundational shapes from which all other shapes are made, RSP’s work focuses on exploring the foundations of sexual assault survivors’ healing:
A solid understanding of the spectrum of sexual assault and violence
Centering survivors’ healing
Trauma-informed organizational practices
A commitment to ending all forms of oppression
We believe that getting support to explore how to combine these foundations in many ways empowers you to be creative and responsive in how you conceptualize, fund, train on, and/or provide services and advocacy that work for the survivors you work for and with.
