STAR's mission is to prevent sexual trauma and provide comprehensive, collaborative crisis intervention, advocacy and support to victims/survivors, their families, and our communities.

STAR has had a presence in Anchorage for over 40 years. STAR has two distinct aspects to our services.  The foundation of the organization is its Direct Service Advocacy work.  This includes operating a 24 hour crisis line that is operated by STAR staff during the business day and extensively trained volunteers on evenings, weekends, and holidays. STAR advocates are also responsible for responding around the clock to reports of sexual assault and child sexual abuse.  Finally, advocates provide on-going support to victims of sexual assault and abuse.  This includes safety planning, court accompaniment, and referrals for necessary resources. 

Additionally, STAR has an education and prevention team that presents age appropriate personal safety information in the Anchorage School District as well as other school districts throughout Alaska by request.  Additionally, educators also present to the community at large about bystander intervention, identifying warning signs of child sexual abuse, mandated reporting, and a myriad of other topics related to the spectrum of power based violence.
