Our Year in Numbers

At the start of the New Year, ThinkSelf usually takes this time to look forward to the upcoming year, laying out our hopes and dreams for growth in our community. 2024, however, had it’s own set of challenges and big changes (We miss you Curt, Asma, and Steph!).


With change, a reflection on what we were able to accomplish the previous year seems appropriate.


Adult Education Classes:

We welcomed Sarah Houge as our new Education Coordinator.

Our class has grown from average of 13.4 to 17.3 learners.

Contact hours for the month of December have increased from 549.75 to 733.75, showing a steady increase of learners served each month.

Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Advocacy:

Our advocates worked with 25 participants on average per month from January 1st to December 1st.

For the grant reporting year of 2023-2024, ThinkSelf worked with 77 participants with 3 new participants per month on average.

With 956 individual sessions throughout the year, 645.57 contact hours with our participants were logged.

Prevention… Stay Tuned!

ThinkSelf was awarded a grant that would shift a focus on a reactive approach to harm, to a proactive approach. As this program is new, we look forward to reporting a positive outcome at the end of 2025!
