DOVES Hosts Summer Program for Kids

Advocate Dawn Hull facilitated craft day.

In July DOVES' staff were pleased to accompany our clients and their children on a number of fun filled outings. With the generous help of some of our local establishments, we were able to go out and have a good time this summer! DOVES’ clients, their children, and staff (Laura Morales-Rojas & Quinton Page) went to the Big Bear Alpine Zoo, the Village Movie Theaters, and the Bowling Barn. They also spend time doing arts and crafts (an event organized by our advocate Dawn Hull) and went to the park for a cookout. Often times, as families work to rebuild their lives after domestic violence, one of the things that can get overlooked is taking time to go out and do fun things. With all the challenges we face alongside our clients here at DOVES, it was a wonderful joy to be able to take part in something so fun and uplifting. Thank you to all the clients and children who participated, and to all the generous donors around town who helped make this possible. 

Register Now - Understanding the Culture of Poverty Training

As members of the San Bernardino County Coalition of Domestic Violence Shelters, we are thrilled to be co-sponsoring this event.

This two-day workshop, presented by Kathy Estes, Executive Director of Infinite Possibilities, will offer the participants an opportunity to consider the realities of what it means to “live in poverty.” Through the research of Dr. Ruby Payne, this compelling and interactive workshop provides a foundation to understand the variables that sometimes interfere with achievement and success for the community of poverty. Participants will draw upon personal experiences and learn strategies for effectively engaging with the community of poverty.

Educators, managers, social workers, health care providers, business leaders, law enforcement agencies, probation officers, youth leaders, clergy, community based organizations and the public are all encouraged to attend.

The workshop will be offered on September 13-14 from 9am-4pm, both days. It will be held at Morongo Tribal TANF, 720 Carnegie Drive, Suite 150 San Bernardino, CA 92408.
