HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER

Annual dues to become a Michigan Victim Alliance member are a modest $10. (If you would like to join, but dues would impose a financial burden, please contact us for an accommodation.) Membership entitles you to participate in all MVA elections and activities and to receive our newsletter.

The MVA would like your support. The Michigan Victim Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to the healing and protection of victims of violence, trauma, and abuse. Our mission focuses on meeting the needs of victims rather than on revenge, and we recognize that communication is the key in allowing the voices of victims to be heard.

Your donation makes it possible to further our goals which include educating ourselves and the public on ways to help policymakers, community decision-makers, and the criminal justice system become more effective and more responsive to the needs of victims. To further these goals, the MVA develops partnerships with the broad spectrum of Michigan victim organizations and other groups that want to work with us to make Michigan a safer place in which to live and work.
