Community Advocate, Commercial Sexual Exploitation

Make a Difference Supporting Survivors

Are you an experienced advocate or human services professional who is passionate about supporting survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of gender-based violence?

YWCA Seattle | King | Snohomish is looking for a compassionate, experienced professional to join our Gender-Based Violence Services team. In this role, you will work directly with survivors as they navigate complex systems, identify their goals, strengthen their safety and stability, and connect with housing, legal, healthcare, and community resources.

This is an opportunity for someone who understands that effective advocacy is not about making decisions for survivors. It is about listening, building trust, providing options, and supporting each person in determining what safety and stability look like for them.

Why Join YWCA?

For more than 130 years, YWCA Seattle | King | Snohomish has worked to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. Today, we are one of the region’s largest nonprofit human services organizations, providing housing, gender-based violence services, economic advancement programs, health and safety services, and advocacy to thousands of individuals and families each year.

Our Gender-Based Violence Services team provides trauma-informed, survivor-centered support to people impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, commercial sexual exploitation, and other forms of violence. Our advocates help survivors navigate safety planning, housing, legal systems, healthcare, and other critical resources while respecting each survivor’s individual choices, experiences, and goals.
