• About •

JONAH VILLAGE, INC., was incorporated in 2000, though it had been “gestating” during previous years. The unhurried pace of the New York City public education system and the paucity of substantive, long range programs concentrating on domestic violence in the African American community, spawned the creation of a non-profit, youth leadership organization whose programs and projects converge around the issue of domestic violence prevention.

To date, we have:
• Made radio appearances on major, local talk shows;

• Produced a series of radio interviews for a local, listener sponsored radio program, “Out of the Sand”;

• Consulted with a local radio station on its debut of “It’s Your Business”, a radio micro-drama, about breaking the silence of domestic violence. It was produced by the INSTITUTE ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY.

• The INSTITUTE ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY— Community Service Award

• “It’s About Time…” is our public education campaign and was launched on October 14, 2000, at Medgar Evers College, at a Town Hall Meeting entitled, “Neither God Nor Caesar“ JONAH VILLAGE, INC., is a 501c3, tax exempt, non-profit organization.
