Provoking Hope

What Provoking Hope does

Provoking Hope is a non-profit organization that delivers free, peer-based addiction recovery, prevention, mentoring, and support services to adults and youth in the Greater Willamette Valley of Oregon. Headquartered at 213 NE 10th St, McMinnville, the organization operates a 1–10 person staff and reaches clients through direct in-person services, community outreach, and institutional partnerships with Yamhill County agencies including Adult Behavioral Health, the Department of Human Services, first responders, and the County Jail, supported by a 24/7 crisis line.

The service portfolio is organized into four program categories — Prevention (Intensive Outpatient Treatment collaboration, Institutional In-Reach, Youth Outreach Recovery Services for ages 14–22), Harm Reduction (Medically Assisted Treatment using Suboxone/Sublocade/Vivitrol and the Outreach Needle Exchange program), Intervention (DHS wrap-around support, Brief Intervention Referral to Treatment, Institutional Outreach), and Facilitation (Responsible Families/Moms/Dads/Kids programs, Hope House sober-living home, Adult Recovery Court mentorship). Delivery is built around Certified Recovery Mentors credentialed through the Addictions Counselor Certification Board of Oregon, who provide lived-experience-based peer support and serve as the primary technical and operational backbone of the organization.

The business model is non-transactional at the service layer: all client services are free, funded instead through individual and business donations (processed via Square), an annual fundraising golf tournament at Chehalem Glenn Golf Course, and in-kind/structural support from county partners. There is no proprietary technology platform, no mobile app, no API, and no disclosed AI/ML component; engagement channels are limited to Facebook, YouTube, email newsletter, and the website. Founded on the personal recovery journey of Executive Director Diane Reynolds, the organization has progressively broadened its program mix while remaining operationally and geographically anchored to a single Oregon county.
