Zero Domestic Violence is an organization dedicated to reducing violence (domestic, sexual, family and elder abuse), and provides education and intervention for the perpetrators.

This is a startup organization seeking volunteers to assist with community involvement. Nevada consistently ranks 1st in the nation for domestic violence fatalities. The first Volunteer Meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday May 24, at City Hall.

At the first meeting, a guest speaker will share her experience of losing a daughter because of domestic violence. They will explain the purpose of Zero Domestic Violence, the importance of the organization in our community, needed areas for volunteers; explain how to get involved with the organization and sign up volunteers.
