GCADV’s community engagement work mobilizes communities across Georgia in advancing the organization’s mission to collaborate, advocate, educate, and empower on behalf of domestic violence victims and their families.
The organization builds collaborative relationships with stakeholders and communities to create social change and raise awareness in order to achieve safer communities free from domestic violence.
This initiative includes: Connecting and building relationships between mainstream and community-based programs; Engaging and mobilizing communities at large in public policy advocacy; Working with grassroots community-based programs serving specific populations to enhance and expand their reach and service capacity; Working with communities to develop intervention and prevention solutions that address the root causes of domestic violence in their communities and empowering them to be advocates for community accountability.
GCADV’s Community Relationships Informing Survivor Engagement (RISE) Project, supports Georgia’s community based non-profit organizations providing culturally relevant services to survivors of domestic violence (DV) who identify from communities of color and other marginalized communities. Selected organizations will receive up to twenty four months of intense on-site training and technical assistance, with the potential for long term follow-up and support.
