Human Trafficking Prevention Month

This past January, and all year round, we stand with survivors and fellow allied individuals - committing ourselves to building a future where generations to come will thrive, free from exploitation. With this toolkit, we hope to challenge and inspire community partners, agencies, and individuals to consider ways to raise awareness and take action against human trafficking.

Baby Safety Month

September is Baby Safety Month. HOPE Collaborative has joined Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association’s effort to help bring awareness of this cause to Riverside County through different baby safety tips. HOPE Collaborative's goal is to help create safety ambassadors amongst our community partners and have created a Baby Safety Month Toolkit that offers knowledge and information on how to create a safe environment for children. We are making this toolkit available to download to allow our community partners to help spread awareness. Click HERE to download toolkit.

Speak Up Fall Campaign

Last year, the theme for the Fall campaign is “SPEAK UP,” and will focus on reaching adolescent aged youth. One of the factors for this campaign is the understanding that peer to peer influence is significantly high and evident for amongst adolescents. HOPE’s goal is to educate the youth in Riverside County on how to support their fellow peers, we want them to know that their voice matters, and they don’t have to be afraid to “SPEAK UP” if they or someone they know is being abused or neglected. The components of the campaign included: various media efforts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TV and/or radio commercials), and t-shirts that will be given out to teens to help spread the message.

DON'T LOOK THE OTHER WAY, WHEN A CHILD NEEDS YOU TO SEE AND REPORT

We launched our Child Abuse Reporting Awareness Campaign, "Don't Look The Other Way" where we informed the community on how and why to report possible child abuse. 

This campaign really emphasized the National Child Abuse hotline 1-800-4-A-CHILD and help to debunk common myths surrounding reporting child abuse.

To help further our reach we had 3 billboards advertising the hotline and created a radio jingle!

  • My Stuff Bags for providing HOPE filled duffels for 400 foster youth!

ANTI-BULLYING CAMPAIGN

We launched our Anti-Bullying Campaign for October's Bullying Awareness Month. This campaign had such an impact that people to came in to our office and shared their stories with us.

Here's who ended up pledging:

79 Kids and 103 Adults at our outreach events

19 Adults came in to HOPE's Office

332 Kids and 66 Adults at our workshops
