About Us
Mission
The Monterey County Rape Crisis Center (MCRCC) is a nonprofit agency whose mission is to provide ongoing advocacy, support, and healing for all victims and survivors of sexual assault, human trafficking, and child abuse; and to prevent sexual violence in our community through education.
Vision
All individuals in Monterey County will treat each other with respect and feel empowered to make safe, healthy choices toward ending sexual violence.
Who We Serve
The Monterey County Rape Crisis Center serves people of all races, cultures, religions, incomes and political affiliations impacted by sexual assault, child abuse, and human trafficking. MCRCC clients include, but are not limited to: seniors; children; monolingual Spanish speakers; individuals experiencing homelessness; transgender and queer folks; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and asexual individuals; people who identify outside the gender binary; current and former foster youth; documented and undocumented immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers; people with disabilities; and people experiencing incarceration.
History
Established in 1973 as the Monterey Rape Crisis Center, our organization broadened its service area in 2007 to encompass all of Monterey County. To better represent this expanded reach, we updated our name to the Monterey County Rape Crisis Center.
