Since its inception, Thousand Waves has developed partnerships with a wide range of institutions in order to bring the skills of violence prevention, self-defense and wellness out into the community. These outreach programs reach thousands of people who would probably never come to our Center, but are able to receive the benefits of our training because we provide it in a setting that is safe, comfortable and convenient – where they work, receive services, or go to school.
The following businesses, professional associations, non-profit organizations, government agencies, schools, and community groups have sponsored Thousand Waves’ Violence Prevention Programs since we began in 1985:
