Advocates for a Violence-Free Community, is a non-profit organization whose mission is to end domestic and sexual violence in the Grand County Community. To accomplish this mission, Advocates provide extensive victim support services, information, prevention education and community awareness.
Advocates for a Violence-Free Community, also known as Grand County Advocates, became an incorporated nonprofit organization in 1985 and has been providing support and services to individuals impacted by domestic and sexual violence ever since.
In 2010, through a generous grant, contributions from our Board of Directors, and the use of reserve funds, Advocates was able to purchase a safe house property. This became an essential resource for our small mountain community, allowing us to expand our services and provide individuals and families with a safe place during times of crisis.
In 2024, Advocates welcomed its fourth staff member, marking a significant milestone in our organization's history. Today, our team consists of three full-time staff members and one part-time staff member, along with the support of dedicated, trained volunteers.
Together, we provide 24-hour crisis response, victim advocacy, and support to individuals impacted by domestic and sexual violence, including their children. Through our 24-hour crisis line (970-725-3412), we are available to listen, provide support, connect individuals with resources, and help them navigate their options. Our Spanish-language services also help us better serve members of our diverse community.
For nearly four decades, community support has helped make this work possible. Your generosity helps ensure these vital services remain available to individuals and families throughout Grand County.
