Mission

To provide a wide range of supportive, educational, and crisis intervention services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, enabling them to regain control of their lives.

Vision

The founding and continued vision of the Women’s Center of San Joaquin County includes:

• A community where women can share ideas and feelings, examine their role in society, and learn to bring about change.
• An environment conducive to growth and self-empowerment where women can teach and learn skills important
  for dealing with a changing world, and further community cross-cultural understanding.
• A forum where women’s issues and concerns can be brought before the public.
• A place where women, men , and children in need can find supportive services.
• A catalyst for change pursuing societal goals of equity and self worth, working to insure the provision of
  quality services, community education, and new programs for women and children.

Goals

The Women's Center's goals are to serve and empower victims, raise awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault, dispel myths and misconceptions, and reduce violence in our communities. Ultimately, our goal is to eliminate domestic violence and sexual assault, but we work to ensure that our services are available as long as there is a need.
