Informing the community about intimate partner abu Informing the community about intimate partner abuse and sharing resources is a vital part of ending harm and helping survivors find safety and support.

The Community Connectors program trains volunteers to attend events, share information, and engage in meaningful conversations. 

Since its launch, five dedicated volunteers have represented the mission at several events.

Their dedication means greater access to resources for survivors, stronger relationships with local partners, and more pathways to safety.

We’re seeking community connectors in Anderson, Bourbon, Boyle, Clark, Estill, Franklin, Garrard, Harrison, Jessamine, Lincoln, Madison, Mercer, Nicholas, Powell, Scott, and Woodford counties. Send us a message if you’re interested in joining the program!
