Community Reintegration of Former Female Offenders in the Arizona Valley: A Video Campaign

Hope’s Crossing is a non-profit organization that serves formerly incarcerated and unsheltered women in the greater Phoenix community. Their mission is to help mitigate the disparity between men's and women's post-correctional care, recognizing that women bring unique issues that often go unaddressed. Their services include vocational training, group discussion and connection, volunteering opportunities, and clothing donations. While Hope’s Crossing was founded shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic, its service capacity and staff bandwidth have been hindered by its momentary closure. However, the positive morale of its CEO and founder, Laura Bulluck, employees, and Arizona State University (ASU) interns have propelled the organization in a new direction. The purpose of this creative project is to raise awareness of this new direction, thus helping this community resource to be more accessible to and utilized by those who need it most. My other goal is to help garner stakeholder attention, participation, and funding for long-term organizational expansion.
