Founded in 1978, HopeWorks of Howard County is a private nonprofit agency. Our mission is to support and advocate for people in Howard County affected by sexual and intimate partner violence and to engage the community in creating the change required for violence prevention. We provide direct support to survivors of sexual violence, intimate partner violence and human trafficking. Services include shelter, counseling, advocacy, legal resources, prevention education, community wellness programs and volunteer opportunities. HopeWorks envisions a world of interconnected people and communities actively working toward a society where all people are safe and valued and where everyone can reach their full potential.Sexual and intimate partner violence is based in power differences, not only at an individual level but also structurally in systems of power –known as oppression. Therefore, our mission, at HopeWorks, at its core, is grounded in anti-oppression work. We use a social justice lens; enabling us to address and decrease the root causes of gendered violence (sexual and intimate partner violence) as well as the systems that fuel genocide, racism, transphobia, poverty, xenophobia, ableism, and more. We support and partner with others doing anti-oppression work to achieve healthier relationships and a society free from all forms of violence.For more information, please call (410) 997 - 0304
