*ABSTRACT*

The search for dark matter and new forces mediated by sub-GeV particles 
with very weak coupling to matter ("dark forces") is an emerging 
frontier in fundamental physics. I will present the theoretical 
motivations for dark forces and their possible connections to dark 
matter and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. I will also 
discuss strategies, results, and prospects for searches at high-energy 
colliders, flavor factories, and dedicated fixed-target experiments. I 
will focus particularly on the near-term program of searches for dark 
forces at Jefferson Lab, including APEX in Hall A and HPS in Hall B, and 
I will briefly describe opportunities to directly search for dark matter 
at Jefferson Lab in the future.
