Its Mission: “Establish a coordinated community-wide awareness and response to domestic violence in the boundaries of the St. Vrain School District, primarily Longmont.”

History: In 1998, a series of particularly violent domestic assaults occurred in Longmont in which victims had not sought help in leaving or changing a long standing abusive relationship. These assaults significantly impacted our community. As a direct result, a coordinated community-wide awareness and response to domestic violence was developed. The result was LEVI (Longmont Ending Violence Initiative), a collaborative group of over 30 agencies that provide resources to combat domestic violence.
