Sitkans Against Family Violence (SAFV)
Upcoming Events
SAFV provides trainings for groups and agencies that have an interest in domestic violence, sexual assault, and the effects of violence on children. Because domestic violence carries over into every aspect of a person's life, training and information is important for employers, ministers, health care professionals, teachers, counselors, and the general public in order to support victims and their children. There is no cost for this service.
New Nomination Process for Honoring Women 2012
Sitkans Against Family Violence opened up the nomination process for the annual Honoring Women event to the entire community. Individuals as well as groups will now have the opportunity to nominate a Sitka woman for her outstanding services to women and children in the community. The board hopes that younger women and those not associated with any group or organization will have a chance to be acknowledged for their exceptional volunteer or professional efforts. Four women will be recognized as Sitka’s Women of the Year in 2012.
If you want to nominate a woman, please submit a letter to SAFV, P.O. Box 6136, Sitka, AK 99835 or info@safv.org and include the reasons why you think this woman should be recognized. The board will choose from the nominations. If you have questions, please call Martina at 747-3370 or send an email to the address above. Deadline for the nomination is January 31, 2012.
