While we will have a new name, our trusted programs are
firmly in place. We remain a United Way agency and serve more than 20,000
community residents each year through our agency based programs, crisis
hotline, workshops, as well as school based, advocacy and outreach services.
Currently, the agency is best known for its crisis and safety
net services. Our Domestic
Violence & Sexual Assault (DVSA) Program provides a full range of
services for victims including a 24-hour hotline, advocacy, counseling and
legal services for safety and healing to clients in their time of greatest
need. Our DV-SA program will continue to grow with the Women's Center for
Advancement just as it has for the last 25 years.
We've also placed a greater emphasis on our Violence Prevention
and Education Services for youth as well as adult men and women. Our
revitalized and expanded Career Services Program
provides tools and resources for clients to shape their future as they enter or
return to the workforce. Our new Bridges
to Opportunity Program takes a multi-agency, individualized approach to
assist our clients in their efforts to remove the barriers to self-sufficiency.
As the agency evolves, Women's Center for Advancement will
continue to develop and expand programs that help our community residents live
safely, and grow confidently.
