Our Impact: Building a Safer Community Together
Join us on a journey through a landmark year at Verity. Our 2023/2024 Impact Report showcases not just numbers, but stories of hope and resilience as we mark our 50th year of service to survivors. From implementing new client-centered systems to expanding our community outreach, this report captures a year of meaningful progress and innovation. Under new leadership and guided by an ambitious strategic plan, we’re elevating our services while staying true to our core mission: providing survivor-centered support that honors each individual’s unique path to healing and justice. As we celebrate half a century of service to Sonoma County, we invite you to explore how your support is creating lasting change in our community.

Community Education
In keeping with the mission and philosophy of Verity, our Prevention Education Department aims to increase our community’s awareness of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and child abuse.
We present prevention strategies and intervention advice through classroom and community presentations. All presentations are tailored to each individual group, are available in English and Spanish, and free of charge. We believe education is key to eliminating sexual violence from our community.
