Since 1986 the Colorado Anti-Violence Program has been dedicated to eliminating violence within and against the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) communities in Colorado, and providing the highest quality services to survivors.
We operate a 24-hour statewide hotline so that if you experience or witness violence within or against LGBTQ communities, you can call us for support and referrals to services. The most common types of violence we work with are hate violence and intimate partner violence; we also receive reports of sexual assault, police misconduct, homelessness, HIV-motivated violence and acts of random violence.

Branching Seedz of Resistance (BSEEDZ) is a youth-led project working to build community power to break cycles of violence affecting LGBTQ young people. Using strategies of community organizing, arts & media, action research and direct action BSEEDZ sparks dialogue, educates and empowers youth to take action. Led entirely By Youth, For Youth BSEEDZ continues to build a base of youth leaders locally and nationally who are committed to fighting for safety and justice in their lives, families and communities.

TRAINING & EDUCATION

We train community organizations, victim advocates, shelter staff, healthcare workers, school staff, and other service providers who work with survivors of violence to increase accessibility, capacity, accountability, and to facilitate institutional and cultural shifts within organizations towards LGBTQ inclusivity. Trainings focus on the dynamics of the types of violence that affect our community, and the
specific needs of LGBTQ people.


CAVP also offers workshops and community events for the LGBTQ community and our allies about the basics of community organizing, safer dating and hooking up, creating community based responses to violence, and other issues related to safety and violence.
