Stand with survivors
Stand Up Placer is a lifeline for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and sex trafficking in our community. Your support tells them our community stands with them — and offers hope and a path forward.
Volunteer
Mission-driven, survivor-centered, trauma-informed and empowerment-based.
Stand Up Placer firmly believes that everyone deserves to live a life free from violence. We provide services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and sex trafficking in Placer County — a 24-hour crisis line, text and chat, a pet-friendly emergency shelter, legal assistance, peer counseling and advocacy, and support groups. All of our services are free and confidential.
Find current volunteer opportunities and sign up through our volunteer hub.
