Collaboration Is Key

This important event was created and facilitated by the YWCA Spokane’s Alternatives to Domestic Violence Programs. ADVP believes that violence is a community problem. Therefore, the YWCA Spokane collaborates with every appropriate community organization and local, state, and federal government agency or program in order to educate our community and create a climate of accountability.

If you, your business, or organization is interested in partnering with the YWCA Spokane, please contact our Community Outreach and Education Coordinator at 509.789.9290.
