SASS Go

SASS Go is a nonprofit bringing safety and awareness to communities to eradicate assault, abuse, and trafficking against women and girls in the Midlands and beyond. We accomplish this through prevention education, self-defense training, and crisis response consulting. The women and girls we serve are as diverse in age, background, and experience as the world they inhabit and over half of them receive our services for a free or reduced cost. Together we work hard to #protectthetribe.

SASS Go is on a mission to love and protect people. In 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) completed a decade-long study revealing that 1 in 3 women will experience sexual assault, relationship violence, or stalking at some point in their lives. SASS Go is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit addressing this critical issue through our specialized education, training, and consulting services. Our team of professionals help communities enhance their prevention, intervention, and restoration practices. To date, we have served over 27,000 individuals across four continents. Whether collaborating with the US Department of State in regions affected by enduring violence or working with educational leaders in elementary schools focused on preserving the innocence of youth, SASS Go provides effective solutions, hope, and healing.

SASS Go has served a wide range of clients, including the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Embassy, U.S. Military, United Nations (UN), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Homeland Security, and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS).
