I have been involved with DVRP as a Board Member for almost two years. I can confidently say that the staff, advocates, volunteers, and board members are dedicated individuals determined to help A/PI's in the community deal with domestic violence (DV). Everyone involved with DVRP works hard to ensure men and women in the DC Metropolitan A/PI community have the resources they need to address DV situations. DVRP makes sure that a lack of resources does not hinder the work that they do. In addition, DVRP works to find ways to improve resources and teach organizations in the community how to address DV in the A/PI community. DVRP is one of those organizations that you want to be part of because you know that the resources you provide to the organization is actually changing someone's life.

DVRP is a unique organization that provides needed services to empower survivors of domestic violence in our community. As a former Board member, I worked with dedicated DVRP staff, past and present Board members and numerous community supporters to help sustain the organization during difficult economic times. I worked with diverse, passionate women at DVRP whose commitment to the organization was inspiring. The organization is resilient and with continued support it will be able to provide effective services to our community.

DVRP is one of the only organizations I've seen that accomplishes so much on such a lean staffing model. The combination of staff, board, advocates, and volunteers is extremely dedicated. The two years I served on the board were incredibly difficult with budget cuts and their cascading effects, but it was also inspiring to see how we all pulled together to ensure DVRP's critical services would continue. I learned a ton from this experience and also made wonderful friends along the way. Even after my board term ended, there were many opportunities to witness the immense efforts put in by the newer folks involved with DVRP. I still attend events and support this wonderful organization.

I've been involved with DVRP for four years and have seen first hand all of the great work it does. As the only organization in the DC metro area providing support services to Asian/Pacific Islander survivors of domestic violence, DVRP serves a critical role in the community. Through a small, but extremely dedicated staff and bilingual advocates who between them speak more 20 languages, DVRP has been able to help dozens of women each year to reclaim their lives from their abusers.

DVRP is a great organization to get involved with if you like to see the impact of your work almost instantly. I have served as a community outreach volunteer, an advocate who has worked directly with survivors of domestic violence, and am currently on the board of directors. Because of the invaluable work DVRP does every day to help survivors become safer, stronger, and more independent, I plan to stay involved with this terrific organization long after my board term ends.
