Founded in 1973, as the Monterey County Rape Crisis Center, the center is governed by a board of directors and serves the community with eleven paid staff and over 50 volunteers.

"I was raped...but I am proud. I am proud of the person I am. I am proud that I survived such torment. I am proud that I did it without the mindless hate of the rapist. I am proud that out of the trauma I created a new beginning, a better Me. I am proud of me!"
