About Us

The Center Against Sexual Assault of Southwest Riverside County began in 1982 in response to one teacher's effort to help a student. This student was a victim of a violent rape and at the time no services were available to help this student in our local area. Inspired by the event, the community came together and formed CASA.

In the beginning it was strictly a volunteer effort. Volunteers served as both hotliners and advocates supporting survivors of rape through their difficult process. Volunteers responded to the hospital, worked with local police and sheriff's department and accompanied the survivor at the municipal and superior court levels.

This is all still in place today. CASA now has an Outreach Program Director, Prevention & Education Director, Executive Director, Administrative Assistant and a Board of Directors comprised of citizens throughout our community, along with many committed volunteers.
