About IMPACT Bay Area  

IMPACT Bay Area is a grassroots 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We offer violence prevention programs that help people feel more safe and confident by teaching them effective boundary setting and safety skills along with full-force physical defense strategies in a supportive and empowering environment. 

Since 1985, we have trained more than 20,000 people to defend themselves and others against verbal, physical, and sexual assault. Our in-person and online courses serve communities most affected by violence, teaching practical skills in a culturally-relevant and trauma-sensitive way. Graduates often describe our programs as “life changing”. 

Our work centers on social justice and equity, and we are continually seeking ways to meet the intersectional needs of BIPOC communities and people of different ages, genders, abilities, and identities. If you share our enthusiasm for safer communities, you will find a home at IMPACT.
