24 Hr Crisis Line

About

In the pursuit of a community that is free of sexual violence, Our VOICE serves all individuals in Buncombe County affected by sexual assault and abuse, through counseling, advocacy and education.

Founded in 1974

Our VOICE, Inc. is a non-profit crisis intervention and prevention agency that serves survivors of sexual violence, age 13 through adult, in Buncombe County.

The agency was founded in 1974 as an all-volunteer grassroots organization. The agency remained underground until August 1983 when we received our 501(c)(3) status as a non-profit agency and the first employee was hired. Now, 40 years and considerable growth later, Our VOICE employs six paid staff and over 50 volunteers, working both to support the healing of survivors of sexual violence and to prevent future acts of sexual violence.

Please contact us for information on how to view agency documents open for public inspection.

Client Services

Our VOICE recognizes the difficulty many people have in reporting sexual violence. We also acknowledge the traumatic nature of sexual violence and the need for providing support and information to the survivors of these crimes. To assist the survivor in regaining a sense of control over their life is the primary goal of our direct services. Request one today!
