Mission

ELLA Group encourages women & children to recognize, embrace and utilize self-protective behaviors that foster individual well-being and self-efficacy.

ELLA Group encourages women & children to recognize, embrace and utilize self-protective behaviors that foster individual well-being and self-efficacy. We accomplish this goal by offering classes in the Rape Aggression Defense Systems©, and radKIDS©, both nationally recognized safety and empowerment programs for women and children. Courses include physical technique training combined with awareness education delivered in English and/or Spanish. All courses are taught by certified instructors at low cost to participants and include a lifetime return for practice policy.

On May 13, 2006, ELLA Groups was awarded the Unidas Grant in the amount of $10,000. Thanks to generous grants from the Lovell Foundation and Every Voice in Action Foundation TM, the Women’s Foundation was able to re-institute the Unidas program in January 2006. The goal of the Unidas Program was to focus on such topics as philanthropy, prevention, intervention, non-profit organizations and social change.

ELLA Group is looking forward to help create a safer environment in the Tucson Community. We believe that through education we can help in the fight against violence and abduction. ELLA Group is prepared to invest in the future of our community by building self-esteem and realistic safety options that last a lifetime.
