About Us
NOVA was founded in 1974 as Women Organized Against Rape (WOAR). It was the first and continues to be the only rape crisis center in Bucks County. During the early to mid-1980’s when the federal government began to acknowledge and address the needs of victims of crime, WOAR was expanded to become NOVA, the comprehensive victim services organization in the County serving all victims of crime and to providing prevention education services.
NOVA is also the home to several special projects; The Keystone Crisis Intervention Team, The Bucks Coalition Against Human Trafficking, and Safe and Healthy Communities.
