“As an educator, I believe that safety, respect, and trust are the keys to healthy relationships between students and teachers in my classroom, and I am grateful that Project SAGE is similarly committed to modeling and nurturing healthy relationships between both intimate partners and families throughout our communities.
While the compassionate services Project SAGE provides to victims of domestic violence are essential, the educational opportunities the agency offers to men and women, to boys and girls, and to parents and children, are just as inspiring.”
— Steve McKibben, former Vice Chair, WSS Board of Directors
“Domestic Violence is a Human Rights violation and a criminal act and it occurs in our backyards. It is debilitating not only to the victim, but also to the perpetrator. I volunteer...because I believe that the cycle of violence is devastating and must be broken. Mine is a lonely voice but I know that I can make a difference. Together, we can be formidable.”
— Judith Crouch, former Chair, WSS Board of Directors
