We help prevent domestic and sexual violence through 3 programs:
Leadership Program
LIVE’s Leadership Program focuses on building community and facilitating social change. The program, based on curriculum by Esperanza United, is for Latino/Hispanic community members that want to become leaders and advocate for their community.
In addition to gaining basic leadership skills, increasing their confidence, and growing their network, Latinos who complete our Leadership Program go on to provide workshops to other Latinos/Hispanics with the purpose of increasing knowledge and community capacity in the prevention of domestic and sexual violence.
Graduates of the Leadership Program also organize and co-facilitate the Stewards of Children program in the community.
Stewards of Children (curriculum by Darkness to Light)
Organized by Latinos who complete LIVE’s Leadership Program, the goal of Stewards of Children trainings is that more Spanish-speaking members of the Latino/Hispanic community will have the knowledge to prevent child sexual abuse and violence.
Community Advocate Training
Our Community Advocate Training is for community members who want to learn about how to better support victims of sexual and domestic violence, and contribute to LIVE’s mission through outreach work. Participants learn about topics such as:
- Domestic violence
- Sexual violence
- Safety plans
- Legal remedies to seek protection
- Victim’s rights
