About the Coalition

The Virginia Community Violence Coalition is a collaborative network amplifying community violence intervention (CVI) voices across Virginia, through information and resource sharing, training, and coordinated fundraising. Our members span the field—from small, local groups to large national organizations, including policy, healthcare, and frontline practitioners.

Our collective goal is to significantly reduce the number of shootings, stabbings, and other forms of assault in our cities over the next five years, and to make Virginia a national leader in comprehensively addressing community violence. We do this by gathering folks from across the Commonwealth to share best practice, support organizational development, and speak with a shared voice on priorities.
