        Supporting Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault since 1995

        At Our Sisters’ House, we are dedicated to leading, empowering, and inspiring change by eliminating domestic violence, sexual assault, and teen dating violence through culturally responsive intervention and prevention programs.

        Our team is a dedicated group of advocates, mentors, and leaders committed to uplifting survivors and empowering our community. With diverse backgrounds and shared values, we work together to create safe spaces, provide critical resources, and promote healing, justice, and hope for all those we serve.
