Massachusetts State Representative Paul Donato Recognized By Portal To Hope’s Youth Leadership Program
A legislator with a history of advocating for crime victims’ rights and a long-standing partner of Portal To Hope’s, State Representative Paul Donato was honored by the award-winning nonprofit organization’s Youth Leadership Program. Each year, Donato helps to educate youth program members about grassroots activism in initiating legislative and legal reform. As a survivor-driven organization with its roots in pursuing legislative reform to increase safety measures for people impacted by abuse, Portal To Hope’s youth program members have turned to Donato and other legislators for guidance and support on issues involving child abuse. “Representative Donato is a part of the Portal To Hope family. He is a staunch advocate of women’s rights and has worked to help keep children safe from abuse,” said Deborah Fallon, Founder of Portal To Hope.
This October, Portal To Hope will be celebrating 25 years in providing services to crime victims in Malden, Medford and neighboring communities. To get involved or to learn more about Portal To Hope and its Youth Leadership Program, please call (781) 338-7678, or visit www.portaltohope.org.
