The Blue Bench is a United States-based nonprofit focused on preventing sexual violence and supporting survivors in the Denver metro area. Its work blends prevention education with survivor-centered services to help create a safe, supportive community for people of all gender identities aged 13 and up. Prevention programs are designed to grow with participants from youth to adulthood, and a Continuum of Care guides individuals through medical, legal, and counseling needs. The organization was founded in 1983 and has collaborated with local institutions to improve reporting and handling of sexual assaults, including initiatives such as Safe Bars introduced in 2023. In 2026, it launched a fundraising campaign called A Longer Bench to recognize supporters who stand beside survivors.
