ORSATF Committee Membership Application

The mission of the Oregon Attorney General’s Sexual Assault Task Force (ORSATF) is to facilitate and support a collaborative, survivor-centered approach to the prevention of and response to sexual abuse, harassment, and violence in Oregon. We accomplish our mission by advancing primary prevention and providing multi-disciplinary training and technical assistance to responders in Oregon and nationally.

These committees are comprised of 200+ dedicated, inventive, and collaborative Oregonians from across the state working in a wide variety of disciplines, who together inform and guide the work of Oregon SATF staff and help improve the response to and prevention of violence and abuse across Oregon.
