About Us

The Center got its start in 1974 as the answer to supporting those in crisis in the City of Lompoc. Over the years the agency has grown to encompass all of northern Santa Barbara County, providing critical services to those in need.

The North County Rape Crisis Center has grown to now have staff working in Lompoc and Santa Maria offices. Both offices provide crisis intervention to those in need as well as an extensive educational component. Programs offered by Center staff and volunteers include the ChildSAFE Program, a personal safety program offered to youth K-9th grade in north county schools, Word on the Street aimed at reducing the incidence of human trafficking among youth, self-defense, Good Touch/Bad Touch Puppet Shows for preschoolers, sexual harassment, Mandated Reporter, teen dating violence prevention, and much more.

If you would like more information on what the Center offers, please call the office at (805)736-8535 or (805)922-2994.
