SAVE’s mission is to strengthen every individual and family we serve with the knowledge and support needed to break the cycle of domestic violence and build healthier lives. In pursuit of this mission, SAVE provides a comprehensive range of direct services to people experiencing domestic violence from immediate crisis intervention to long‑term supportive services.

SAVE offers competitive benefits and a fun and stimulating work environment. We are focused on continually improving our survivor‑centered, trauma‑informed work and meeting the needs of the diverse communities we serve.
