  1. Recently moved to Birmingham Al from Charlotte NC. I am a member of the DV speakers bureau and am in search for opportunities to speak/educate on DV in the Birmingham area. I am having a difficult time finding DV organizations that have a speakers bureau or ones that have public awareness opportunities. I also volunteered as a court advocate and am having difficulty finding volunteer opportunities for that position as well.
