Sexual Assault Agency Membership

Qualified sexual assault agency members are any programs in Colorado that either provide direct services specific to sexual assault victims, or implement programming to prevent sexual assault; and agree with CCASA’s statement of purpose and commit to the statement of mission.

Agency memberships are designed for an agency, or an office/department within an agency, to provide access to CCASA’s resources and services for their staff, volunteers, and clients. In addition to the general member benefits, agency members may access bulk bundles (50 units) of CCASA publications for distribution to their clients. Agency member staff and volunteers may also attend CCASA events at low, or no, cost. Agency members can participate in voting on organizational matters. Agency members are also encouraged to participate in CCASA committees and ensure that their agencies have a voice on the state level. Membership dues are based on an agency’s annual operating budget.

Affiliate agency members shall consist of any agency in Colorado that agrees with CCASA’s statement of purpose and commit to the statement of mission but does not provide direct services specific to sexual assault victims or implement programming to prevent sexual assault.
