About

The Center Against Domestic Violence works toward a society free from violence by transforming the lives of victims and raising awareness in our communities. The Center opened the first publicly-funded shelter in New York State and now operates three full-service shelters for victims and their children; groundbreaking education programs teach more than 27,000 young people each year how to have healthy relationships and prevent domestic violence; ongoing community based support, victim advocacy, and community outreach help eliminate domestic violence.
