I had the opportunity to volunteer with Our Wave and was incredibly impressed. I'm a sexual assault survivor who has built technology for survivors before. The Our Wave team does a wonderful job of thoughtfully developing content to meet victims' needs. They are also collaborative and generous with other nonprofits in the space.

Working with Our Wave and their team of advocates and volunteers has been nothing but inspiring. The folks at Our Wave make the time for this work, doing their best with whatever skills they have to answer questions, uplift voices, and show up for survivors, supporters, and their fellow volunteers. I’ve helped their newsletter and blog efforts for over a year now and am very grateful for the supportive energy and feedback I’ve received to strengthen my skills and to be reminded that my voice is valuable.

NO MORE feels blessed to work alongside Our Wave and Speak Your Truth Today to deliver the NO MORE Silence platform. The platform developed by Our Wave is 100% survivor-centered, versatile, and ever-evolving.

This collaboration combines the strengths of all three organizations to create a powerful platform for survivors to share their stories and find support. The NO MORE Silence platform provides a safe, anonymous space for survivors to speak out, breaking the silence that often surrounds these issues.

Our Wave’s expertise in creating trauma-informed digital spaces ensures that the platform is user-friendly and supportive. For us at NO MORE, this partnership amplifies the voices of survivors, raises awareness, and fosters a community dedicated to ending domestic violence and sexual assault.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking to understand, support, or join the movement against these pervasive issues.

We worked with Our Wave to create the We-Speak platform in Ireland in 2023. They were an absolute dream to work with from the start and continue to be valued colleagues. Their tech expertise, prioritisation of the survivor experience and considered approach made them incredible partners in bringing our platform to life. Given that we were creating a platform in a different jurisdiction we had additional legal thresholds to meet and the Our Wave team patiently and diligently worked through every one of them with us. We continue to love working with them and are sure it will be a partnership which will last.

Our Wave has been a great partner to our organization, Alaska Children's Trust, as we set up a system with them where Alaskans can share their lived experience of child abuse or neglect and find community with others. They're been good communicators, responsive to our unique needs, and a pleasure to work with.

It has been an honor and a joy to work alongside Our Wave on building their community platform. The team is energetic, empathetic, and deeply passionate about the impact they seek to make. They have made a strong commitment to support other organizations in the space using their technology - lifting all boats so to speak. I look forward to their ongoing impact.

Partnering with Our Wave has truly been a wonderful journey for End Rape On Campus (EROC). From the outset, the Our Wave team demonstrated a profound understanding of the complexities surrounding campus sexual violence and the needs of survivors. Their innovative approach to providing a safe, anonymous platform for survivors to share their stories has perfectly complemented EROC's mission of support, education, and advocacy.

Over the years, Our collaboration has resulted in an increased reach and deeper impact, empowering more survivors to find their voice and community. With our Survivors Spaces white lab page on Our Wave's user-friendly platform, combined with its commitment to privacy and security, has provided a much-needed space for survivors to express themselves without fear or stigma.

The team at Our Wave is not only professional and highly skilled but also genuinely compassionate and dedicated to making a difference. Their responsiveness, openness to feedback, and collaborative spirit have made working together a seamless and rewarding experience. Together, we have been able to create a stronger, more resilient network of support for survivors, fostering hope and healing.

We highly recommend Our Wave to any organization seeking to make a significant impact in the lives of survivors. Their dedication to empowering individuals through storytelling and community-building is truly inspiring. We look forward to continuing this invaluable partnership and witnessing the positive change we can create together.

Our Wave provides an amazing healing platform for survivors of sexual and domestic violence. I love their mission and vision and believe survivors should have great technology tools like this to support their healing. It’s amazing what they have been able to do with a completely volunteer team! I especially love their question and answer, story sharing, and exhibit features. I hope they can build capacity to do even more to build community for survivors in the future.
