Silent Victims of Crime, "We Stand for Kids" (SVC) 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization

 

Our vision is to break the intergenerational cycle of incarceration

 

Our mission is to assist children of inmates by enhancing their ability to improve their economic, educational and personal stability while addressing behavioral, social and mental issues. We help these at-risk children to deal with life challenges in a positive, proactive manner that empowers them to make wise choices and contribute positively to society.
