Reclaiming Hope
Reclaiming Hope, which so generously shares meeting space with the Task Force, will be sharing some of the inspiring ways to make a positive difference in the lives of survivors locally and nationwide. We've asked them to highlight their very successful mentoring program.
Samantha Caputo will speak on first contact calls and case management. At university, she worked part time at a juvenile justice residential facility. Seeking a more holistic approach, she moved to a community mental health agency as a case worker for adolescents, where she saw more stability and better outcomes for her clients. While in a role helping those in the foster care community, she met Mandie Hoehne and learned about Reclaiming Hope.
Mandie Hoehne, Director of Survivor Care, found Restore Innocence several years ago when she felt led to do volunteer work with anti-trafficking. She began working with Reclaiming Hope in April, 2021. She has a vision for housing and community mentorship including teaching life skills and offering opportunities for survivors. Mandie is a long-time Task Force volunteer.
Amanda Finger, Executive Director of the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking, presented on LCHT's Colorado Project Summary at our March meeting.
