Reminder: Summer Office Closure

The Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence will remain closed through the first week of July. We will return to work on Tuesday, July 9th.

Our team will be reclaiming rest, ease, and wellness as a commitment to caretaking for ourselves beyond our movements against gender-based violence. If you need support during this office closure, please visit our Get Help page or contact a Co-Steward of our organization: mica@engagingvoices.org, kelly@engagingvoices.org, and/or tai@engagingvoices.org
