PCVA is a membership consortium of organizations and individuals that provide advocacy and assistance to victims, co-victims and witnesses of crime. Our mission is dedicated to improving and promoting victim rights and the provisions of a full range of high-quality victim services in the City of Philadelphia.
PCVA’s primary goals are to provide member agencies with a collective voice that is greater than the voice of any one individual agency or organization in addressing the rights and needs of crime victims. PCVA strives for collaboration between agencies and organizations to exchange information, ideas and address emerging issues and policies related to victims of crime. PCVA’s works to identify underserved or unserved victim populations and address service gaps in systems that affect crime victims.
We support initiatives that address the policies, the rights, the needs and provisions of services to victims and witnesses in the City of Philadelphia. We create opportunities for victims to feel heard and empowered as well as to support and recognize the contributions that service providers make in the Philadelphia community.
PCVA strives to increase public awareness of crime victim issues and the services available, especially those services offered by PCVA’s member agencies.
