Raising Shasta (Shasta County Child Abuse Prevention Coordinating Council)

What Raising Shasta (Shasta County Child Abuse Prevention Coordinating Council) does

Raising Shasta is a community-based nonprofit, legally the Shasta County Child Abuse Prevention Coordinating Council, founded in November 1987 in response to a California state legislative mandate to coordinate child abuse prevention and early intervention in Shasta County. After operating for many years as Pathways to Hope, the organization rebranded to Raising Shasta and now delivers a portfolio of interconnected programs spanning youth engagement (Camp Hope, Catalyst Mentoring, Teen Centers in Redding and Anderson, Police Athletic League Boxing), parent support (Parent Partners, Triple P, Parent Cafes, Parent Education, Parent Leadership Advisory Group), and community-level initiatives (CORE opioid response, MCART mandated reporter training, advocacy and awareness campaigns). The organization is the convener of the Collective Table, which coordinates dozens of local nonprofits, schools, agencies, and law enforcement partners in Shasta County, and runs programs at no cost to participants.

The organization's business model is donation- and grant-funded rather than fee-based: all programs are free to families and youth, with revenue sourced from individual donations (processed via the Givelively platform), event-based fundraising (including the Cronic Disaster Restoration Golf Fundraiser and Roaring Rumble), and program-specific grants such as the four-year CORE initiative in partnership with Youth Options Shasta. Sponsorship of events and programs is also offered. Operations are intentionally local and relationship-driven, with no public revenue disclosure and no external funding rounds; the organization is governed by a board that includes the Shasta County Sheriff, Redding Police Department, Redding Rancheria, Five Star Bank, Sierra Pacific, and the Shasta County Office of Education.

In 2024 the organization executed two notable strategic moves: a merger with Catalyst Mentoring, which brought school-based one-on-one mentoring for grades 4-12 under its umbrella, and the launch of the Police Athletic League (PAL) Boxing Program at the Redding Teen Center in partnership with the Redding Police Department and the Shasta County Sheriff's Office. The organization operates with approximately 9 employees from a headquarters at 2280 Benton Drive Building C in Redding, with physical service sites at the Redding and Anderson Teen Centers and school-based program delivery across the county. There is no disclosed AI, technology, or software platform underpinning service delivery; the operating model is fundamentally human-delivered, place-based social services.
