Community Violence Intervention Center (CVIC)

CVIC is a 501c3 non-profit agency that has been serving tens of thousands of survivors and victims since 1980.  Their mission is to end violence in two generations by disrupting cultural norms with a bold, comprehensive approach. CVIC delivers vital safety and healing services throughout Grand Forks County and surrounding communities to adults and children experiencing trauma. They are educating youth and professionals about how to stop violence and teaching our communities ways to develop healthy relationships.
