Our Outreach Programs
Our programs allow AshaKiran the ability to serve domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking survivors through events, trainings, and education all while supporting other community organizations.
Community Awareness Program
The Community Awareness Program is designed to bring awareness of barriers that affect the victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking from underserved communities.
Our awareness presentations help agencies discover areas where they may need to implement appropriate support practices to avoid re-traumatizing the clients they serve and building trust in the communities in which they are located.
Many organizations offer little more than etiquette training, while failing to address deeper issues that impact communications. The commitment to improving internal and external practices must become a part of the organization’s culture in order to become effective.
Volunteer Program
Be a Ray of Hope in Someone’s Life
Our volunteers and interns are an essential part of the work we do to support survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Their efforts extend far beyond service. They bring comfort, connection, and critical support to those navigating some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
⠀⠀⠀
Volunteering with AshaKiran means contributing to meaningful change while growing personally and professionally. Whether assisting with outreach or working alongside our direct service team, you’ll gain hands-on experience and insight into the unique challenges faced by diverse communities.

New Alabamians Program
AshaKiran is excited to launch the New Alabamians Program (NAP) - a one hour presentation directly to the community to improve knowledge on how to access emergency services. The NAP includes tips and insight provided from first responders valuable feedback as well as practical information on emergency rooms, non-emergency services and schools. This is especially important to members of our communities who are limited English proficient (LEP) or are not familiar with how to access crisis services (or even know that 911 can switch you over to an operator who speaks your language).
The NAP also includes a pocket-sized guide with vital information that can easily fit in the palm of your hand, into your wallet or even in a cell phone case. Thanks to our community partners, the NAP pocket-sized guide has been translated into 5 languages: Arabic, Chinese/Mandarin, Korean, Spanish/Mexican and Vietnamese with more languages on the way!
