About Us

The Advocates' mission is to prevent domestic violence and sexual assault in our communities through education, shelter, and supportive services.

Our staff and volunteers offer a wide variety of very effective services that range from shelter, support groups, counseling, legal assistance, and court advocacy to prevention programs in the schools and community. The Advocates is a non-profit organization that exists exclusively for charitable, educational, and service functions.
