The Assist is a small non-profit organization based in Okemos, Michigan, focused on advocacy and support for child and athlete survivors of sexual violence. Its work aims to address gaps in national advocacy by giving a voice to survivors across sports at various levels, from gymnasts and runners to softball players and volleyball players, and by promoting accountability, transparency in reporting, and survivor-centered environments. The organization originated from a collective of more than 40 survivors and positioning itself within the broader landscape of sports safety, it seeks to end cycles of abuse and advance changes that protect athletes. Operating in the non-profit sector, The Assist emphasizes collaboration with other advocacy networks and has pursued several partnerships and campaigns to raise awareness and drive policy change, including initiatives related to a Child Athlete Bill of Rights and survivor-focused advocacy events. While its footprint is modest in scale, the group situates itself among organizations addressing violence against women and children, with a regional base in Michigan and a broader national orientation in its mission and activities.
