Survivors of Assault and Rape (SOAR)
SOAR members meet once a week at an undisclosed time and location. Meetings are generally run Quaker-meeting style and intend to provide a safe, confidential, and supportive space for students. If interested in becoming a member or receiving emails, please contact soarhaverford@gmail.com.
SOAR meetings are:
- A supportive, non-judgmental, safe space for survivors of any gender or sexuality.
- Open to anyone who has experienced non-consensual sexual contact. You do not need to label your experience sexual assault or rape in order to attend.
- Completely confidential; member's names are not shared with the College.
- Unstructured. You can speak as much or as little as you want, and you will never be required to share your experience.
Additional Information:
- The College encourages you to seek professional support through CAPS in addition to attending SOAR meetings.
- SOAR is a student-run group with no mandated reporting. If you want your incident included in annual crime statistics, you must report it to the College.
- The Rape and Sexual Assault Student Assistants are trained extensively to respond to sexual assault. They are available 24 hours at (484) 571-2775 during the academic year.
