WE WILL AT A GLANCE

We Will is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention of sexual assault and survivor empowerment with state chapter organizations also working toward our goal.
OUR MISSION
Complete Dedication
"We will prevent sexual assault and empower survivors through formal and informal education, community growth, and survivor support."

OUR NAME
Why "We Will"
Back in 2018 when we created We Will, there was trouble figuring out a name that fit. As such, we first decided to create our mission. We knew that we wanted to focus on prevention of sexual assault and survivor empowerment, but choosing the words we would use proved difficult. "We aim to prevent assault and empower survivors" wasn't strong enough for us. "We focus on preventing sexual assault and empowering survivors" didn't show total commitment to our cause. The only wording that seemed to truly fit our goal- to completely eradicate sexual assault and mitigate the traumatic effects for survivors- was starting our mission with the words "We Will." We will prevent assault, empower survivors, and will not rest until sexual assault is eradicated. It is the only acceptable goal. We want our name We Will to create a sense of community and united effort in our goal, and to display our absolute commitment and dedication to our cause. We will complete this important work.

OUR STORY
Making a true difference
We Will was founded by Brittney Herman in 2018. After writing a research paper, she discovered a correlation between poor sexual education and high sexual assault rates. Sexual assault is preventable and action must be taken. We are dedicated to making that change.
