a 501(c)3 agency, in existence for 36 years. MESA believes
every person has the right to live free of sexual assault.
We are moving to end sexual assault and the suffering it
causes in our community. We challenge all forms of oppression
and recognize their connection to sexual violence. MESA
serves the geographical jurisdiction of Boulder County.

Education
MESA believes strongly that we must work to prevent sexual
violence before it occurs. As a result, we offer four programs
to meet the needs of different populations.
- Men Standing
Up: Taking Action Against Sexual Assault consists of
adult male volunteers who conduct presentations and do
outreach in schools and the broader community to help
end
rape and other forms of violence against women.
- Elder
Abuse Prevention is aimed at preventing domestic and
sexual abuse later in life.
- The Peers Building Justice
Program trains high school students to become Peer
Educators in local middle
school and high
schools on the topics of sexual assault, sexual
harassment, dating abuse, and other forms of oppression.

- Our Community

preventing sexual
violence.
