About IMPACT Bay Area
IMPACT Bay Area is a grassroots 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We offer violence prevention programs that help people feel more safe and confident by teaching them effective boundary setting and safety skills along with full-force physical defense strategies in a supportive and empowering environment.
Since 1985, we have trained more than 20,000 people to defend themselves and others against verbal, physical, and sexual assault. Our in-person and online courses serve communities most affected by violence, teaching practical skills in a culturally-relevant and trauma-sensitive way. Graduates often describe our programs as “life changing”.
