Spokane Valley Community Advocates - SVCA

Our Mission: Supplying people with the power to raise their voices while providing hope and opportunity.

Our Motto: Renewing Hope, Rebuilding Lives

We serve the Greater Spokane Valley area with the following 3 Rs:

Resource Navigation using self-advocacy tools. Finding resources when living outside the City of Spokane can be frustrating and stressful. We try to take some of that away so the neighbors can concentrate on getting the help they need.

REACT rapid response network for immediate needs not met by organizations or it would take too long with no guarantee of approval. We have a network similar to a church phone tree that we use so the neighbor2neighbor connection is made.

Resilience Education involves, as of July 2023, the creation and running of a variety of Basic Living Skills (BLS) classes for ages 12+. This will be volunteer community members, with a small stipend if funding is available, stepping up to educate others on a variety of essential topics. These classes will bring together a variety of community members and we are hoping that several support groups will also form from these opportunities.
