The Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape is proud to announce that the coalition’s Sexual Assault Resource and Counseling Center (SARCC) earned the 2015 Governor’s Victim Service Pathfinders Award, reports Adam Kulikowski. 
The prestigious award is presented to a program who have made notable contributions to the program for which they work the community they serve or the field of victim services.
“SARCC is honored to be recognized through the Pathfinder Award for the work we are doing in the community to end sexual violence,” SARCC CEO Jenny Murphy-Shifflet.
SARCC serves Lebanon and Schuylkill counties, recognizing the impact of sexual assault on all individuals, families, and communities, counsels and support clients and advocating for the rights of victims and educates for the elimination of sexual assault in Lebanon and Schuylkill counties.
SARCC has been instrumental in bringing two evidence-based programs to the area—a satellite office of the Pinnacle Health Children’s Resource Center and the launch of the Live the Green Dot Campaign.
SARCC has also worked to build services to the Spanish-speaking population in its service-area.
In 2013 and 2014, SARCC was recognized as the Nonprofit of the Year in both Schuylkill and Lebanon counties.
