WAVE - Women Against Violence Everywhere
The WAVE Foundation – We are against violence everywhere, because it can happen to anyone.
Awareness / Community / Empowerment

What started as a group of women who felt compelled to take action against domestic violence, has grown into The WAVE Foundation. Our mission is built on the idea that raising awareness, creating community and empowering individuals are critical mechanisms for bringing positive change to the culture surrounding domestic violence and sexual assault.

You can find us empowering people to take action on behalf of themselves and others at the events Cycle the WAVE and Walk a Mile in Her Shoes and our education prevention program for young people, Discover Your Power. In the last 12 months through Discover Your Power, we have taught over 3,000 individuals of all genders how to trust their intuition, help a friend, be an active bystander and how to feel confident, recognize healthy and unhealthy relationship behaviors and a few essential self-defense moves. We harness the power of community by awarding grants to organizations that give hope to those experiencing abuse or at risk of abuse in Washington State.
