Assisting. Advocating. Empowering.
For over 40 years, the Virginia Victim Assistance Network (The Network) has advocated for the needs of crime victims and provided victim assistance training for professionals. The Network is the only statewide nonprofit organization that provides services to any victim of any crime, and it is the sole membership and network organization for systems-based victim assistance programs that help crime victims throughout the Commonwealth. The Network’s membership organizations assist over 75,000 victims of crime annually.
We are proud to offer programs and services for crime victims and those who serve them. Our goal is to fill critical gaps in services for victims of crime through direct service programs and professional support of victim advocates and organizations.
