Jennifer Rose

Jennifer Rose has been working as an advocate and activist to promote healing and end violence against women and children for the past 25 years. Jennifer is currently the co-director at Inspire Action for Social Change. Prior to co-founding Inspire Action in 2008, she had held a number of leadership positions at local domestic violence programs. In her role as the Director of Domestic Violence Services at the Walnut Avenue Women’s Center, she worked to build a program that provided both crisis intervention and long-term advocacy and support for women and their families. She also opened a supervised visitation center that was part of a national demonstration initiative funded by the Office of Violence Against Women.

In addition to her work at Inspire Action, Jennifer works as a consultant, locally and nationally, to provide training and technical assistance on the issues of violence against women and girls, engaging people who use violence, anti-oppression/anti-racist work, community organizing, and LGBTQ issues.

Jennifer received her BA in Anthropology and Women’s Studies from Fort Lewis College and her MSW from San Jose State University.

Both Beth and Jennifer have collaborated, co-authored, and contributed to numerous publications and resources for those serving victims of violence, many of which can be downloaded on our Library page.
