Our Story: Community-led, Community-centered
Member of Washington Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs
Founded specifically for violence prevention: We Aim To Change Places into Spaces People Want To Be!
Our mission is to implement comprehensive sexual and bias-based violence prevention strategies in environments underserved or not served by traditional resource centers and support victims.
Proper Groove is a community-led 501(c)3 charitable organization that uses place-based prevention practices to empower communities so they can stop sexual and bias-based violence while centering victims’ needs.
We envision a world where cultural norms develop communities that recognize, identify, and respond effectively to early signs of potential violence. We see the possibility for restoring survivors’ rights to safely and joyfully live life in all spaces.
We know that sexual and bias-based violence is preventable and actively fight against its perpetuation using comprehensive prevention strategies, the force of our community members, and the strength of our partnerships.
