Our Association with the Alliance

The Alliance was founded in 1990 under the name of Mountain Crisis Services, an agency working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Mariposa County. As the agency grew and expanded to include different programs, we decided that a new name would better fit the work of our programs and our vision for our communities. Below you can find more information about each of our programs, our Board of Directors, and Donations.

Our Programs

Valley Crisis Center seeks to prevent domestic and sexual violence by advocating for positive changes in the societal systems that may lead to oppression, fostering a better understanding of domestic and sexual violence through community education, and providing culturally relevant direct services that empower victims of abuse and their children.

CASA of Mariposa is a local branch of a national, nonprofit organization that focuses on volunteer advocacy for abused and neglected children.

Ethos empowers diverse young people within the local community. We believe that each young person deserves the opportunity to be recognized as an individual, particpate fully in their community, and thrive in a place of creativity, security, and support.

Mariposa Heritage House inspires people to redirect and improve their lives by offering both peer-counseling and recovery support services – including training opportunities and access to resources for individuals and families – set in a safe, supportive environment.

Connections is an Emergency Shelter. People with a housing crisis will be able to come to Connections and be connected with the appropriate supportive services provided by our community partners. Our goal is to end homelessness.
