Calling All California Rape Crisis Center Staff!

This year, it gives VALOR great pleasure to host a statewide virtual conference for rape crisis centers entitled “ValorCalifornia: Advocates Advancing Equity” on September 22 and 23, 2021

This virtual conference will begin on September 22, featuring voices from the field on emerging issues related to ending sexual violence in California, and will conclude with our Annual Membership Meeting on September 23. 

This is exclusively for our California rape crisis centers, so if you’re in leadership, on staff, or a volunteer, we would love to see you!

We are excited to announce our sessions on emerging topics and issues related to ending sexual violence in California.
