How You Can Help
Punch-a-thon participants practice saying "NO!" during the mini self-defense lesson led by Program Director and Co-Founder, Annie Ellman.
Participants at CAE build skills to prevent, counter and heal from violence in their lives and communities. We welcome you to help us provide this life-changing programming!
