DC Anti-Violence Project

DC Anti-Violence Project Formerly known as GLOV, DC Anti Violence Project works to address all forms of violence against the LGBTQIA+ community.

The primary mission of the DC Anti-Violence Project (DCAVP) is to work to reduce violence against LGBTQIA+ individuals (and those perceived as LGBTQIA+) through community outreach, education, and monitoring cases to ensure that the rights and dignity of LGBTQIA+ victims of violence, trauma and abuse are respected and protected. DCAVP also seeks to assist survivors of anti-LGBTGIA+ violence by advo

cating on their behalf, encouraging reporting, and providing a community of support. For more information, visit www.thedccenter.org/dcavp or e-mail [email protected].

The Job Club is on February 5th, 2025. It is a weekly job support program to help job entrants and seekers, including the long-term unemployed, improve self-confidence, motivation, resilience and productivity for effective job searches and networking — allowing participants to move away from being merely “applicants” toward being “candidates.” The focus is on developing strength-led strategies, techniques and goal plans, matching values and strengths and improving self-awareness as approaches to finding meaningful and satisfying employment.

This meeting is however only meeting via Zoom.
