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.

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
