Crime Victims Advocacy Council

Crime Victims Advocacy Council (CVAC) was organized in July 1989, under the guidance of Urban Action, Inc., the urban ministry program of the United Methodist Church in North Georgia. Urban Action, through participation in various types of assistance programs, became aware of unmet needs of the many crime victims of our society. CVAC was developed specifically to respond to these needs, Subsequently; CVAC incorporated as an independent, nonprofit organization.

CVAC, Inc. is an organization of people, who care about the needs of victims of crime. It is composed of volunteers from all walks of life, such as persons of faiths, criminal justice professionals, attorneys, and other interested people from the community. CVAC responds to crime victims with understanding and help, whatever their race sex or religious beliefs. CVAC realizes that crime victims most fully benefit through a variety of resources, services and programs. Therefore, CVAC seeks to involve churches, community organizations and concerned individuals and alike in its efforts to provide this broad spectrum of resources which aid in recovery.

Crime Victims Advocacy Council directs its resources and energies toward several areas. It offers peer support groups (Crime Survivor Support Groups) to crime victims, free of cost. It provides educational programs to the community. It sponsors an annual memorial service for persons who died as victims of crime. It raises the consciousness of the community to recognize the rights of crime victims, and acts as an advocate on their behalf. Crime Victims Advocacy Council welcomes members and volunteers who share its concern for victims of crime.
