LOVE STARTS WITH YOU
Project Agape is a Black, survivor-led organization that was founded and is run by Black survivors who aim to educate on all aspects of gender-based violence and support and promote wellness in survivors. This is done through resources, educational and wellness workshops. We work in space that is survivor-centred, Black-centred and trauma informed in order to promote community building, education and survivor advocacy, advocating for Black women and gender diverse individuals.
In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, truth and reconciliation, as immigrant settlers on Turtle Island, Project Agape honours and acknowledges the work we do is being done on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial.
A LITTLE ABOUT US
OUTREACH AND EDUCATION
Project Agape was created by Black survivors to be able to serve Black survivors. We accomplish this through hosting programs that focus on survivor wellness, advocacy and support. We have hosted and will continue to host numerous workshops such as our self-esteem, self-love, reclaiming sex after trauma and more.
COMMUNITYÂ BUILDING AND SUPPORT
Community Building is a key part of our organization's principles. We have hosted numerous events that have allowed us to be able to build community and connect the Ottawa community with support and connections. We have been able to do so through our annual paint and sip event which aims to educate on domestic violence, our annual boozy brunch that is primarily focused on discussing consent, pleasure and boundaries. We hope to be able to grow our Project Agape community more and support survivors in this community.
