Be part of the fight against injustice for children in your community by donating and/or volunteering w...ith Camp HOPE America.

The idea of virtual anything is nerve-racking, but virtual camp was just terrifying for first year Site Coordinator Janae Sargent from RISE. She didn't let fear hold her back though! Instead, she had hope for what amazing new experiences could come from this unique camp week. Listen to the amazing outcome of her camp week as she and the campers bravely stepped out of their comfort zones and had a lot of fun doing so!

The Safe Sisters Circle The Bipartisan Working Group to End Domestic Violence invites you to a briefing to understand how the global health pandemic of COVID-19 has hindered help-seeking by survivors and hampered life-saving resources by service providers with devastating consequences. Domestic violence programs have historically been underfunded and under-resourced in responding to the public health crisis of domestic violence, and it remains a pervasive issue that demands a fully funded and coordinated federal, state, and local response. COVID-19 has further exacerbated the dearth of resources and magnified the threats to personal safety, housing, economic stability, legal access, advocacy, and health care supports, which are needed to not only protect survivors from further harm, but help them thrive. Marginalized survivors often face additional barriers to health and safety, such as heightened vulnerabilities due to chronic underlying health conditions, geographic and language barriers to resources, limited access to healthcare, increased exposure to the pandemic as essential workers, and food insecurity. Join us for a moderated panel discussion with experts in the field about the urgency for a swift response by the federal government to prioritize the health and safety of survivors during this unprecedented time. Sincerely, DEBBIE DINGELL DEBBIE LESKO Co-Chair Co-Chair Member of Congress Member of Congress

Everyone's path to healing looks different. And there's no perfect way to get to where you want to go. Some paths may be long and others may have some bumps along the way, but with support from community and a little determination, there's no goal you can't reach! This was the theme of our curriculum this past year and we're keeping it as our focus all year long!
