Dando Voz
KCSARC provides free, confidential services for victims of sexual assault and their families in the Spanish-speaking community.

Prevention
At KCSARC we keep our prevention work grounded in the Centers for Disease Control’s research on risk and protective factors and utilize the social-ecological framework to keep a focus on addressing these factors at each level of the model. KCSARC also works to ensure that all prevention programming adheres to the Nine Principles of Effective Prevention Programming and operates from a community-development perspective. KCSARC currently engages in prevention work in middle and high schools. KCSARC facilitates prevention sessions with young people that focus on the risk and protective factors of sexual assault perpetration; we have conversations with youth about consent, boundaries, healthy relationships, gender stereotypes, and more.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
