Community Outreach

Community Event Participation and Outreach

We are thrilled to participate in a diverse range of community events across the state. These events offer a valuable opportunity for us to connect with residents, and local organizations. Our goal at every event is to help people gain a deeper understanding of:

• Who UOVC is: Our role within the state, our mission, and the principles that guide our work.
• The Services We Offer: A detailed overview of the various forms of assistance available, including financial compensation, victim advocacy, resources, and information on the criminal justice process.

Partner With UOVC

We are eager to collaborate with your organization, school, business, or community group. If you are planning an upcoming event, we would be delighted to partner with you in one of the following capacities:

• Tabling and Resource Distribution: We can set up an informative table, staffed by UOVC representatives, to distribute free educational materials, answer questions, and direct individuals to appropriate resources.
• Community Presentations and Training: UOVC staff are available to provide tailored presentations to your audience. These can range from general overviews of victims' rights and services to more focused discussions on specific topics related to trauma, recovery, and navigating the aftermath of crime. Our presentations are designed to be informative and relevant to the needs of your particular group.
