Training and Outreach Coordinator

Organization Overview

The DC Coalition Against Domestic Violence (DCCADV) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a community where domestic violence is replaced with human dignity.

DCCADV is the federally recognized domestic violence coalition in the District of Columbia and serves as a resource for the thousands of adults and children experiencing domestic violence each year, as well as the local organizations that serve them. Our fundamental goals are to provide leadership and support, build awareness, and enhance the systemic response to survivors of domestic violence and their children in Washington, DC. As the District is a city made up people from many life experiences, and a city whose population historically has been a majority Black people, DCCADV has a commitment to ensure that our organization operates with values centered in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging.
