Callisto is a rapidly growing non-profit that creates technology to detect repeat sexual assailants. Callisto Campus launched over four years ago on two pilot colleges, and has since grown to support 12 college campuses. Sexual assault survivors that visit Callisto are six times more likely to report their assault and three times more likely to connect to emotional and medical resources. Fifteen percent of sexual assault survivors who opted into our matching system were matched with another individual as having been assaulted by the same perpetrator as another survivor in the system. Callisto is hiring! https://www.projectcallisto.org/work-with-us
