Step Up 4 Kids

Step Up 4 Kids began when county officials realized that seeing domestic violence at any age can affect a child for the rest of their lives.

Fairfax County understands it is important for county services, schools and nonprofits to work together to meet the needs of children impacted by domestic violence.
