About

Alternatives to Violence Center is a grass roots organization founded in 1981. Formed by a working board of trustees and one full-time staff the agency was originally called Highland County Domestic Violence Task Force. After prompting from Clinton County Commissioners the agency soon expanded to include Clinton County. In an effort to ensure Clinton County was represented as well as the services and communities served the agency re-branded itself and began working as Alternatives to Violence Center in 2008.
