Community Outreach and Prevention

Shelterhouse sponsors, coordinates and hosts many events

during both Domestic Violence Awareness and Sexual

Assault Awareness months, in concert with local churches,

professionals and companies. By reaching out to local

schools, we are able to provide preventive education to over

400 adolescents.

The 100 Men Campaign provided an opportunity

for men to take a stand to be positive role models

and help to end domestic and sexual violence. Financial

support from the program will be used to raise awareness

and fund educational and preventive programs.

Chefs for Shelterhouse allowed local chefs to

demonstrate their culinary skills and their support to end

domestic and sexual violence. The event was held at the

Midland Center for the Arts.

Girls on the Run offered an after school program at 14 different locations in 2013, serving 454 girls. The

program helps build character and increases self esteem,

improves body image and increases physical activity in
