Founded in 1988, Asian Women’s Shelter (AWS) is a dynamic non-profit orga­ni­za­tion ded­i­cated to end­ing domes­tic vio­lence and pro­mot­ing the social, eco­nomic and polit­i­cal self-determination of women. AWS pro­vides com­pre­hen­sive ser­vices in over thirty lan­guages through its Direct Service com­po­nent, includ­ing a 24-hour shel­ter pro­gram, 24-hour cri­sis line, Multilingual Access Model, and Queer Asian Women and Transgender Support Program. AWS’s Community Building com­po­nent works to change val­ues, prac­tices, sys­tems and poli­cies through strate­gies such as grass­roots mobi­liza­tion, sys­tems reform, and inter-organizational com­mu­nity and capac­ity build­ing. The Support of Services pro­gram area empow­ers com­mu­nity mem­bers and engages them in both direct ser­vice and grass­roots com­mu­nity build­ing pro­grams as trained vol­un­teers and multi-lingual, multi-cultural advo­cates and agents for change. AWS upholds all pro­gram areas with a strong orga­ni­za­tional foun­da­tion com­prised of ded­i­cated board, staff, vol­un­teers, on-call lan­guage advo­cates and com­mu­nity mem­bers. AWS main­tains sound fis­cal, per­son­nel and admin­is­tra­tive man­age­ment through its Finance, Fund Development, and Program Reporting com­po­nent, and upholds and strength­ens its con­sen­sus decision-making and non-hierarchical prac­tices, strate­gic plan­ning, pro­gram eval­u­a­tion and tech­nol­ogy through its Organizational Development com­po­nent. http://​www​.sfaws​.org
