COMPASS MISSION STATEMENT
COMPASS is dedicated to the provision of crisis intervention and survivor's advocacy support for all victims of sexual assault, and the prevention of sexual assault through the promotion of community awareness and education. COMPASS will pursue its Mission in an open and collaborative manner.
What is COMPASS?
Sexual assault/rape is a crime that knows no particular socio-economic class nor ethnic boundaries. Unfortunately, it happens everywhere...it can happen to anyone. Statistics show that during their lifetime, one in every five men and one in every three women will be a victim of sexual assault.

In April of 1997, COMPASS was established as a non-profit organization to provide a new direction for the survivors of sexual assault in Tuscarawas and Carroll Counties, Ohio. Since that time, COMPASS has expanded to include all of the free services listed on the tabs above and more. Just click on any of the above tabs to learn more about COMPASS services.

Funding
COMPASS is partially funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant, Rape Prevention Program through the Ohio Department of Health, the State Victims Assistance Act, and the Victims of Crime Act. COMPASS is further funded through private donations and local fund raising efforts. Thanks to these funding sources, COMPASS is able to provide all of its services free of charge to survivors.
