Founded in 1974
Our Voice is a non-profit crisis intervention and prevention agency that serves all survivors of sexual violence ages 13 and up in Buncombe County, and all survivors of human trafficking ages 13 and up in Buncombe, McDowell and Transylvania Counties.Â
The agency was founded in 1974 as an all-volunteer grassroots organization. The agency remained underground until August 1983 when we received our 501(c)(3) status as a non-profit agency and the first employee was hired. Now, 50 years and considerable growth later, Our Voice employs 12 paid staff, working both to support the healing of survivors of sexual violence and human trafficking and to prevent future acts of sexual violence and human trafficking from occurring.
Please contact us for information on how to view agency documents open for public inspection.
Client Services
Our Voice recognizes the difficulty many people have in reporting sexual violence and human trafficking. We also acknowledge the traumatic nature of sexual violence and human trafficking and the need for providing support and information to the survivors of these crimes. To assist the survivor in regaining a sense of control over their life is the primary goal of our direct services.Â
Prevention, Education and Outreach Programs
Our Voice brings programming to diverse groups throughout our service area that addresses the root causes of sexual violence and human trafficking, and advocates for positive social change and empowers individuals.
