It's up to you how you move on, how you tell your story, how you will grow from your experiences, and if you inspire others to speak up and make a difference.

Originally created in Colorado, the intent of Me Too Teen Project is to be a national and international resource for youth. We will be updating this page to include information for various state & national organizations. Please feel free to email us at: metooteenproject@gmail.com with any suggestion of your state's organizations or national resources! 

Youth sexual assault is an epidemic. It breaks people, and brutally impacts lives. Our legal systems routinely fail victims. Sharing our truths is a path of redemption, vindication and justice. Dramatic change is required; change begins with knowledge and understanding, with listing and being open. We are calling you to Hear us. Listen. Change.

Sexual assault and abuse does not leave anyone untouched. No one is free of doing harm: anyone can hurt anyone and everyone can be hurt by it. The sooner you can come to this reality the sooner change will come.

Map Your Voice is a site that allows survivors of sexual assault to safely and anonymously report their assault, as well as receive resources and support. Each survivor "maps" their assault on our platform's map, which helps them find local resources, near the assault, and also helps collect important public health data.
