$10,000 Goal

We started BV HOPE in 2014 because of the increasing danger of human trafficking in the United States. We now educate citizens to prevent trafficking in our community. Our efforts are concentrated on school-aged children. We also work with adults, parents, grandparents, teachers, law enforcement, first responders, Departments of Human Services, and the medical community. Recently we expanded efforts to other communities nearby. That is why our name is Bringing our Valley HOPE because we are reaching our whole valley with education to prevent human trafficking. 

What we do...

  • Educate students to help them understand how to stay safe.

  • Offer free Human Trafficking 101 training several times a year in Chaffee County, Colorado, and beyond.

  • Train first responders, educators, and medical community

  • Outreach at local festivals in Chaffee County, CO

  • Sell handmade goods made by survivors and 100% of the sales go directly to the maker.

  • Pack HOPE bags for rescued survivors in partnership with Reclaiming Hope in Colorado Springs.
