Background Statement

Advocates started providing domestic violence support in Routt County over four decades years ago. In 1985, we started serving sexual assault victims, added a 24/7 crisis line in 1997, and purchased a shelter for a confidential place for victims to stay in 1998. In 2018, we started the Social Change program, focusing on prevention programming. In 2020, we started the Youth Advocacy program providing support for teen primary victims as well as child secondary victims. In February 2021, we reorganized to "Better Tomorrow" to launch a sibling program to Advocates: Brighter World Child Advocacy Center. Brighter World opened its doors on August 1, 2021, to provide forensic interview services and support to child abuse victims. In 2023, COMMA Projects shifted to its own, independent program in order to be brought to more regions in Colorado. Finally, in 2024, Queer Futures opened its doors, serving as the only LGBTQ+ resource center in our rural corner of northwest Colorado.
