Mission
Intimate partner violence alone affects more than 12 million people every year. Our organization, Soteria, aims to support the Richmond and Central Virginia community in raising awareness and uplifting women and families affected by interpersonal violence, homelessness, and other factors that hinder the ability to fulfill happy and healthy lives. We hope to work with local shelters and collect needed items and funds as well as educate the VCU community about how they can recognize abusive, toxic, and unhealthy relationships in their own lives. This organization will also provide the opportunity for students to take on leadership positions, work to their strengths and challenge themselves while gaining community service experience.
