The Survivors Speakers Bureau (SSB) started in 2007, in response to a long-held belief that the voices of survivors of crime are crucial in furthering the advancement of victim services in Pennsylvania. The SSB is a project of the Coalition of Pennsylvania Crime Victim Organizations (COPCVO).

The speakers in the SSB adapt their messages to meet the needs of all types of audiences. The SSB has over 20 passionate and trained public speakers. If you are planning a vigil, "Take Back the Night," impact panel, rally, staff training or conference, consider the SSB. Speakers are prepared to speak independently or as part of a panel of crime victims. They respect time constraints and can effectively answer questions from the audience and from the media.
