Executive Director   About CARDV   For more than four decades, the Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence (CARDV) has stood as a trusted refuge and resource for survivors in Linn and Benton counties. Founded on the belief that every person deserves to live free from violence, CARDV has grown from a grassroots response to crisis into a comprehensive, survivor-centered organization with deep roots across the communities it serves. Based in Corvallis and serving Linn and Benton counties, CARDV provides a continuum of services that meet survivors wherever they are. Those services include a 24-hour crisis and support line, confidential shelter, crisis response, legal advocacy, support groups, live chat, and robust community education programming. CARDV’s mission is twofold: to provide direct services and support to those affected by sexual and domestic violence, and to lead education and advocacy efforts that address the societal conditions which allow these forms of violence to persist.

This dual commitment—to individual healing and to systemic change—distinguishes CARDV as both a service provider and a catalyst for community transformation.   CARDV’s work is grounded in a clear set of organizational values—respect, inclusion, leadership, support, trust, growth, and responsiveness—and its Principles of Unity reflect an unwavering commitment to survivor autonomy, anti-oppression, and community-wide change. CARDV recognizes that domestic and sexual violence are rooted in inequity and that lasting change requires engaging the whole community: survivors, families, institutions, and allies alike.   Learn more about CARDV at https://cardv.org/.   The Opportunity    The Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence (CARDV) seeks a values-driven, strategic, and compassionate leader to serve as its next Executive Director.
