About the Role In this role, you will coordinate MNCASA’s national training and technical assistance programming focused on strengthening multidisciplinary Sexual Assault Response Teams (SARTs) across the United States and Territories. You will support Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) grantees and allied professionals working to improve systems responses to sexual violence. You will work alongside another Program Coordinator within the SVJI team to collaboratively build national capacity for SARTs, share project responsibilities, and ensure consistent, high-quality support for multidisciplinary teams. A significant portion of this work includes supporting rural communities, where access to coordinated sexual violence response systems can be limited. You will help rural teams strengthen collaboration, improve victim/survivor-centered practices, and navigate unique barriers to services. Together you will develop training, provide customized technical assistance, create resources, conduct site visits (virtual and in-person), and coach multidisciplinary teams to improve trauma-informed, equitable responses to sexual violence.

You bring experience in sexual assault advocacy or related disciplines, paired with a strong background in program coordination andstakeholder engagement. You’re comfortable in front of audiences, whether you’re facilitating training, presenting at a conference, or testifying at the legislature. Above all, you are passionate about survivor-centered, equity-driven responses to sexual violence. You bring most of the following: You hold a bachelor’s degree in a related field, or you bring a meaningful combination of professional and lived experience that aligns with this work. You have at least three years of experience supporting survivors of sexual assault or working in an allied field. You may come from an allied field such as healthcare, criminal justice, or social services—what matters most is your commitment to trauma-informed, survivor-centered advocacy. You have experience serving on or supporting a SART or similar multidisciplinary collaboration. You have experience working with or in rural communities, or a strong understanding of rural service delivery challenges. We don’t expect one person to check every box.
