Violence prevention and intervention work is challenging, and programs don’t have to do it alone. With the HAVI, members share best practices, strengthen their work, and advance violence intervention and trauma-informed care to support healing.
Applications for the 2026 membership cycle are now closed.
Applications will be reviewed April through August, with decisions shared by September 5, 2026.
