Ricky's Revolution Non-Profit

We are a 501(c)3 approved national outreach program developed to  help runaway and homeless youth, victims of domestic violence,  and victims of sexual abuse reach a place of safety as quickly as possible.  Ricky" is a small stuffed monkey embroidered with hotline contact numbers and given out free to shelters and to anyone alone on the streets. By providing information for safety and shelter options from national hotline numbers including rape crisis, runaway hotline, safe houses, and domestic  violence hotline, we encourage, educate, and empower those who need direction and movement towards healing.

Ricky provides comfort and establishes trust between victims and professionals. He is a tangible reminder that help is available. As Street Team Leaders, Jeannie and Katherine go onto the streets personally handing out thousands of Rickys and interacting with children/youth/adults involved in acute situations of violence and homelessness. Additionally, we have volunteer based Shelter Teams within multiple communities who deliver Rickys to shelters locally. This unique distribution process also allows volunteer community members to become a part of the process in helping bring these issues to the forefront.
